I found a popular thread about Trump getting elected from back in 2016 on HN.

I'll add a link in the comments as well
Basically, comments drifted towards immigration.
I want to know what you personally think about the morals of a country choosing to close the borders in any capacity, as long as it was democratically chosen. If >50% of people directly choose (or choose a representative) to close borders, is this morally wrong, or does everyone need to accept that it was a democratic choice and move on?
I have no strong opinion about the morals, and I see both sides of the token. What do you think?
Please refrain from any inflammatory comments, and frame your opposing opinions as playing the devil's advocate.
There are many views, and I will point out several common arguments:
Against
- Nation will suffer economically due to lack of trade and/or talent.
- It is completely unethical to restrict the flow of a human to/from anywhere.
For
- Nation will have better chance at maintaining culture/language/tribe.
- It will bring back jobs and keep the nation safer.
