Let's adopt ur proposal. Let's just eliminate all border controls. AnyOne and everyone can come to the US for as long as they like, twenty minutes or forever, your open borders.
How many folks would migrate to the US in how many years? Say the next two, the next five, the next twenty?
What "rights" would they have, I.e. The immediate right to vote, to own property, to obtain government assistance?
Would they be required to adopt and adhere to American "ideals", I.e. free speech, religious freedom?
Would they be required to learn English, American history, swear allegiance to the U.S.?
Would they be allowed to maintain their own particular cultural practices even if those practices are counter to the US Constitution?
What decline in your lifestyle and standard of living are you prepare to accept in order to have open borders.
While there are many arguments in favor of open borders, no open border advocate has ever been willing to discuss how this country would deal with the flood of immigrants that totally open borders would generate.
If ur going to advocate open borders and their advantages, you have to be able and willing to discuss their real world consequences. Are you?
