I know North Koreans and South Koreans are the same people, but the Korean war was decades ago already and at this point, uniting both countries would be more troublesome than ever.
It wouldn't be easy. Probably the sooner they can start getting acclimated, the better, then.

Don't countries like Pakistan, Russia, China and Iran have nukes as well, btw?
Yeah, but none of them are publicly declaring and promising our destruction by them, screening big propaganda videos for their citizens showing nuclear missiles exploding on US soil. That's just North Korea.
