But why is where you're from so damn important? Why is it perfectly ok to exclude pepole from other countries but not pepole from your own country? Why merely countries, why not states while we're at it? Or counties? Or cities? Commit a crime in Birmingham and you're allowed to visit all of UK, except for Birmingham.
Because it is your home. You have more of a right to it than someone that isn't from there. I am concerned first with making things right for my family, second for my neighbors, third for my countrymen and fourth for anyone else.
Excluding pepole who don't behave seems somewhat reasonable (you'd have a case, at least). But exluding foreign pepole who don't behave, that's discrimination.

It is discrimination, but there is nothing wrong with it. Its simple, as a foreigner, you are a guest until you attain citizenship. The bar is set higher for you. Citizenship has its privileges.
