Unfriending due to Political Differences

1. No, it would not be okay, for doing so would violate the basic human rights of the existing inhabitants or those seeking to immigrate (also a basic human right).  Human rights violations are violations against basic self-determination.

2.  No, ending trade would not be ideal.  Implimenting fair trade in its stead would be ideal and factories (belonging to a First World corporation), etc, should be held to the highest safety and environmental standards among the nations of the UN.  If anything should be ended, it is meddling with the sovereignty of these countries.  Political intervention should be limited to humanitarian efforts unless their government requests assistance in other areas---in these cases, neutral third parties should act as mediators/observers to ensure abuses don't occur on either side.

When did immigration become a human right? Logically, that means everyone on the planet should be allowed to immigrate to the best country... which would then quickly cease to be the best country, or even a good country. You have a pretty bizzare definition of self-determination if people aren't even allowed to determine the kind of people that their country consists of. In fact, by your definition, Western, white countries are the only countries in the entire world that don't violate the human right of immigration.
