What follows is a personal message from the editors of Uncyclopedia to you. This could be you after you get to work and do something useful for a change. You are wasting this wiki's time. You should be writing something, but instead you are just sitting there, waiting for it to entertain you. You could even be the Time Magazine Person of the Year.
Donald Trump and other immigration restrictions argue that we must restrict migration because a nation cannot exist without borders. This oft-heard claim is false. Borders serve many other functions besides restricting migration. And nations - including the US for much of its history - have often existed without restricting peaceful migration.
This is the difference of why the United States is not a Nation State. Because the United States is not a nation at all, it is a Union of Nations that are limited in autonomy by the people investing ANOTHER Government with certain powers. But that Government is limited in its own autonomy by the State and Local Governments.
