    I thought you were talking about joining a business venture within a given enclave, I must have misunderstood. Even with immigration though, it seems it would make sense to background check people coming in. Do you really want random people joining a given community? I see value in determining whether or not these people are trust worthy (creditworthiness

    Thank you for the very thoughtful response Andrew. You said the following: " . A distrust and general dislike would likely to arise from this situation and more then likely lead to a petty nationalism."

    Interesting view, Andrew. I would like a few clarifications. You said the following: "I think enclaves are less likely to create an environment of openness and liberty" For the world at large?

    Well, one method of proving it would be to look at instances of 'colored disprivilages'. If someone colored or black was prevented from doing something someone white was allowed to do, the white person was privilaged in this instance.
