If your core values are the there should no border controls at all, those are your core values. If your core values are that we should very tightly controlled borders, those are your core values. If your core values are that we should let in more Norwegians and less Bangladeshis, or vice versa, then those are your core values.
My point wasn't that a particular set of core values are virtuous, it was that core values are not things like "loving my kids".
