It is a simple question, but that doesn't mean there is a simple answer.
An immigration policy that maintained dominant white demographics does not necessarily secure the interests of 'whites' as an ethnic group, no matter how that is broadly defined. This should be obvious, since states with relatively homogeneous racial demographics still fracture along class, cultural, or religious lines, and put those populations interests out of alignment. An immigration policy that secured the interests of the most citizens would work in the interest of non-whites as well, meaning it isn't a
de facto ethno-state policy at all, even if it happened to maintain a white majority. An immigration law designed to exclusively benefit the most whites at the expense of other citizens doesn't necessarily secure a white majority, and would be complex, almost certainly unconstitutional, and likely unrealistic and impractical.
This is one of the reasons basing laws on race or ethnicity is not a useful or wise practice, and our framers were wise to avoid it.
You can't just imagine a contour free immigration policy as a pure abstraction, claim that it would be good for whites, and then claim to have made an ethno-state.
For the sake of argument, let's just take what you imagine to be the ethno-state policies of pre 65 America, and assume they were actually better for American citizens. Even if they were designed with the express purpose of maximizing benefits to whites, in 65, those benefits would have been shared by non-white citizens. To whatever degree they benefited non-white citizens less, they probably did so on the basis of, either, unconstitutional regional policies, or unwritten, and thus, extra-legal regional policies. Pre 65 America, no matter how much it may have preferred whites, was still not an ethno-state.
And Capps, no body has seriously mentioned Nazis for many, many pages of discussion, except StA, and only to accuse me of assuming he was supporting a Nazi position when I don't. Don't just drag a straw man of your own invention in here to giver yourself an easy target so you can feel good about your edgy hot take on ethno states in some quixotic attempt to prove you aren't a liberal to StA.
