Who can come in, how long they can stay and what they can. Policies within the territory that provide the conditions of citizens. Our concern with ethnicity ties into the issue of social closure.

Can be defined as relevant or not relevant. Adding physical traits, we"re going into what we define as race. Group descriptions more along as racial lines or cultural lines.
