Though, if we do deny people because of passports, why should we stop there?

Honestly, if that makes sense, why not ban people married to people from another country? Or someone who has worked or studied a long time abroad, it goes without saying that after spending 10 years living in another country, you usually end up with some feelings for that country... And what if you're employed by a multi-national company operating in your own country? Won't someone who has been employed by Opel for 20 years have stronger feelings towards Germany than others?

Or what about people who love food coming from other places? I love indian food, is that the reason why I have strong feelings towards India? Or perhaps it's my childhood friend from Punjab, does he make me more likely to sell my country to india?
