#1 Rorty, who died on 8 June 2007, argued that such exclusivity might be central to preserving world harmony. He wrote that in order to be publicly tolerant and accepting, people might require a haven where they retreat to the comfort of their moral equals and relish a familiar order.

Might just be at that!

#2 I like the ambition of the writer, but to say that the US government allows immigration of foreigners as a morally comfortable counterbalance to abuse of foreigners in Gitmo, ignores the fact that there is a case for special treatment of enemy combatants who were captured in failed states (like Afghanistan). Indulgence of illegal immigration is a factor of political cowardice, rather than from guilt caused by elites who exclude the foreign born from their in-group. However, it is true that time spent by white liberals in their private cottages, is passed in a colored free zone. I have seen that hypocritical lifestyle, first hand.
