Dealing with Outsiders
Who are seeking refuge/hospitality but cannot be admitted to membership in a community - what are the options if it is decided that they cannot stay but they refuse to leave? Enslavement, expulsion, or war.
Assimilation must be done right away; otherwise there may be resentment and violence for giving them secondary status. But if they reproduce more quickly than the natives, they may seek to take over the community if their numbers permit it. But how is it possible to assimilate outsiders who do not share the same culture or race or identity so quickly? How many generations would it take? And wouldn't assimilation also require intermarriage? What if the natives don't want that?
Appeal to rights claims on behalf of the outsiders may provide an easy intellectual fix for the problem, but is there any actual grounding in natural law for those rights?

More Last Gasps for Civic Nationalism
Identity Politics in Wonderland By ARAM BAKSHIAN JR.
In our absurd era, more and more Americans are beginning to wonder who they really are.
The author might be one of those 20th century nuAmericans with whom one could have a conversation, but as a 20th century nuAmerican who bought into neo-Yankee myths, he is oblivious as to why the leftists have been successful with identity politics and their purposes for fomenting division. Instead he is content to announce again that the U.S. is a proposition nation and we should all just get along.

The Aspiration of Some in the American Solidarity Party
is to turn it into a "Catholic" party, in platform if not in membership.
Breitbart: Pope Francis: No Place for a ‘Catholic Party’ in Politics
Does Francis' political pluralism have a place for ethnonationalists or the alternative right? I doubt it.
