>with the notable counter example of the USA in the last ~200y
More like the last 60 years with the passage of the Hart-Cellar Act and other immigration expansions. America's historically strict immigration filters were an inspiration for Hitler. He wrote about how these policies siphoned off many of the world's highest quality Germanics and created a powerful nation:
America is Germanic (Mein Kampf, Volume 1 Chapter 11):
>The North American population consists overwhelmingly of Germanic elements which have mingled very little with inferior colored peoples and this shows a very different sort of civilization and culture from Central and South America. [...] The racially pure and almost unmixed Germanic peoples on the American Continent have risen to become the master of their land. He will remain the master as long as he does not yield to blood pollution by mixing with lesser races.
America is filled with the "healthiest and most energetic" Germanic emigrants (Mein Kampf, Volume 1 Chapter 2):
>Experience shows that emigrant groups are more likely to be made up of the healthiest and most energetic individuals. And these emigrants include not only the man who goes to America, but also the young farm-hand who leaves his native village to move to the distant big city.
Here he extols the virtue of American immigration policy over Germany's (Mein Kampf, Volume 2 Chapter 3):
>I know that people will not enjoy hearing all this, but there is nothing more empty-headed and insane than our present naturalization law. Currently there is one state that is making at least a feeble effort to create a better system. Of course, it is not our model German Republic where this good sense has taken hold, but the United States of America. By excluding all immigrants who are unhealthy and outright refusing entry to certain races, the Americans are showing at least faint signs of a common attitude in the race-based Nationalist state idea.
