But in principle open borders are rational and in everyone's interest. If i owned something productive i don't care where people are coming from to work. And i dont wanna worry about lines and permissions to reenter my own homeland or host friends from abroad.
See, those were my arguments too. What I wasn't looking at is the difference between different sub-species of human. Humans are not fungible. Some humans are particularly malignant on average (bantu, central americans etc).
I'd be fine with race based open borders, kinda, but even that can cause problems. East Asians, for instance, are low crime, high IQ, civilized humans, but commie-fake-china (Taiwan is the real China, and also NAM'BA WAN!!) is a hostile nation-state which has the first or second most prolific spy-network in the world. How to deal with that?
From a solipsistic standpoint, open borders make sense. No one has the right to keep me out of any geographic area. But I'm a civilized human, and I'm not going to rape any native inhabitant, cut off any heads, steal from anyone etc.
Neither are the people I'd hire likely to do so and claims otherwise are aggression against me
claims otherwise are aggression against me
Can't tell if you're joking or not, but whateves, have an upvote! :-)
Borders have utility even without welfare. Different groups of people are different in ways that no amount of civics lessons can redesign. Millions of people from one place won't suddenly be the same as the people they are replacing. They stay different. There is no magic dirt that changes them. You lose your culture and nation to open borders no matter how economically beneficial it may seem to be.
Why? Granting immigrants political access isn't implied in having an open border crossing. Who cares if they are different in their little enclaves and speak something else together at work? So what?
They shouldn't be allowed to work in your nation either bud. Why do you want hostile invaders to be able to get jobs in your country? There's no benefit to it.
And their children?
