Since its inception. It may not be immediately apparent, but immigration to the USA was routine in its history and is still very common now.

For example in the late 1970s we accepted refugees from Vietnam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_boat_people

In the early 1980s we granted citizenship to illegal aliens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control... and new President Biden wants to do it again.

In the 1990s we allowed many Somalis to immigrate here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_American

There are countless more examples, old and recent.

Not saying I agree with parent, but:

i) "The west" is much bigger than the US

ii) Right of political asylum has been "a thing" for a long while, specially for people fleeing authoritarian regimes.

A) Its not really a US problem, its a UK one.

B) The US isn't exactly a hot ticket item at the moment. How many armed riots y'all had this year?
