The United States already accepts more immigrants than
EU countries with a substantially larger population.

I personally find it quite plausible that we'll see
all countries starting to close their borders as the
world fills up. It isn't like the "globalism"
experiment has no detractors. I also find it quite
plausible that when space is opened up, we'll see a
tendency away from multi-national states. Globalism
and multi-national states have both been largely
driven by attempts on the part of elites to avoid wars
through economic integration.

http://www.nwc.navy.mil/newrulesets/ (more on that
topic). Stuff like 911 indicates that attempt may not
be successful. I can believe that if WW IV turns hot
(WW III being the cold war), then we'll see both some
of the advancements necesary for space travel and with
that a tendency towards re-establishment of national
or clan based states(similar to what we saw in Europe
after the breakup of the Roman empire).
