I'm sorry for the OT-ness, but you really got me curious:

nd said:

>> ... [The SU was] closed so that no one could break away.

(my emphasis) then you [huaz] replied:

> ... [the US] now starts to close its doors.

Huaz, what you say here is a harsh allegation, can you back it up ?

AFAIK, the US is making immigration to it harder, not from it.
Either you misspoke, or I misunderstood, or the US laws had REALLY
changed. Any references ? links ?

I think you already backed me up.

So you call it open when immigration "from" it is OK, while "to" it is not? In my dictionary a door opens both ways.

Or you are just talking about one-way doors?

Sorry, I didn't mean to raise a political flame here.

There's no such thing as "immigration from". It's called "emigration".
