The talk is open, but somebody is going to check your citizenship papers at the door? And just how do you propose to identify citizens of these "certain countries"? By skin color (which makes you racist) or by voice accent or their dress, or some other equally discriminatory criteria? I do realize that this stupidity is imposed on you by our wonderful US government, but I very strongly feel that if you have any integrity, you should move the talk to a building that is freely and openly accessible by all and doesn't have any Gestapo agents at the door.
