Exit tax in US is bad too, if Roger Ver has sold enough of his BTC to pay the full amount it would of completely crashed the entire market. People love to say, if you don't like it just leave. Well if you could leave without literally being robbed that would be a valid argument. Implied consent to governance based on where you happened to be born is a BS concept since many can't leave, like all the people on probation or parole for nonviolent victimless crimes who literally aren't even allowed to leave their states let alone the country.

So why are conservatives so obsessed with limiting immigration?

Lots of reasons I'd imagine, years of anti immigration rhetoric from the media and various morons probably did the trick. Everytime an undocumented person commits a crime it gets plastered all over social media for a month and people get the impression that it's way worse than it is. Fentanyl gets blamed on immigrants too even though it's a direct result of drug prohibition causing all illegal drugs to trend towards higher potency to maximize risk to reward for smugglers. Democrats don't want an open border either, Obama was all about some deportations, 3 million in total versus Trump's 2.5 million. Neither blue or red gives a fuck about splitting up families and punishing people for crossing an imaginary line, blue just pretends to give a fuck and is slightly more humane about their immigration policies.
