Yes the "Anglosphere" alliance with Canada, Australia, UK and New Zealand
I believe all of those nations (certainly Canada and New Zealand) also have similar immigration laws.
Yes we all share a secret "desire" to develop a time machine and return to the 1950s...
? Sorry. It probably seems obvious to you but I don't get what you are saying here at all.
Canada and New Zealand each have national health systems and argue something like, "let's not let in these defective people whose treatment will cost our system money." I'm not sure what that has to do with the 1950s. Really it seems more a holdover from the 1900-1930 eugenics period.
That sort of thinking was all the rage in the in the United States and contributed to the Immigration Acts that Jeff Sessions and his pal Steve Banon think are such great examples of wise policy.

Without specific support from eugenicists, by 1917, Congress had expanded the legal definition of those "likely to become a public charge" to include: "all idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons…," "persons of constitutional psychopathic inferiority…, and" "mentally or physically defective..," Later involvement of eugenicists further broadened that definition by specifying the immigrant groups most likely to represent what Laughlin called the "socially inadequate."
In 1920, Laughlin appeared before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. Using data for the U.S. Census Bureau and a survey of the number of foreign-born persons in jails, prisons and reformatories, he argued that the "American" gene pool was being polluted by a rising tide of intellectually and morally defective immigrants – primarily from eastern and southern Europe. Sympathetic to Laughlin's message, Committee Chairman Albert Johnson of Washington State appointed Laughlin as "expert eugenics agent.
Sorry just sarcasm...Most rationale people in the countries you mention are future focused so don't subscribe to outdated views although it will take a couple more generations to breed out intolerance
