Right. It goes both ways, of course.

A bunch of tyranny-loving people will embrace tyranny. A bunch of liberty-loving people will embrace liberty.

Importing a bunch of tyranny-lovers into a liberty-loving community is going to create problems...

Furthermore, the people of Vermont have different cultural notions than the people of New Mexico, and each should be free to govern and live by those notions. There is no reason to try to force people to live by some "national culture"...

Would you expand states rights to include immigration? is it OK if California allows unfettered immigration and Arizona places stringent laws against all immigration? How about gay marriage and pot? how about polygamy and beastiality?

and I think we do have a national culture at some level. Americans do not think and act like Russians or Koreans or Brazilians.

you are on the right track with the states rights thing, but you need to think it all the way through.
