WOW!
Thanks for sharing this. Seriously.
I tend to lean libertarian and am quite conflicted about OPEN BORDERS.
On the one hand, I'm all about the free flow of goods (so why not people, right?). On the other hand, there are security/cultural/social issues.
This article and others I've read (as well as Milton Friedman interviews) is helping me lean towards CONTROLLED BORDERS.
As Milton Friedman notes: Open borders are great as a matter of principle but once you throw in the reality of social welfare (as much as libertarians and classical liberals hate it), there has to be border control. Property rights flows into this framing of the discussion as well.
Again, thanks for the share.
