Actually, yes, sovereign nations can choose who they let in and who they don't.

The fact that there are necessary risks in life doesn't mean that we must indiscriminately accept unnecessary risks.

Why? If my neighborhood was becoming dangerous, I'd get better locks, maybe a security system, and start looking at places in a safer neighborhood. I don't see that it's virtuous to leave my doors unlocked just because that's what I've done in the past. Fear isn't necessarily a bad thing.
