This is a dangerous idea.
Let everyone in, and then watch housing prices shoot to infinity.
Let everyone in, and watch cities deteriorate into slums with the associated no-go areas and warlords.
Let everyone in, let them drive wages to zero. Let everyone starve.
This is what you're advocating?
> Previous generations of immigrants have made the US what it is.
Previous generations had a physical barrier in the form of transportation costs to the US. Today, we have airplanes and autos. Transportation costs are a fraction of what they were in the Ellis Island era.
Have you seen the housing situation in Rio? The food lines in Venezuela? The intense poverty in India? The pollution in China?
We don't have the technological or social controls to handle the affects of high population density that would be the result of accepting your Open Borders proposal.
- ebbv 10y agoYour xenophobia is really sad. The US won't turn into Venezuela, Brazil or China because immigrants come here. Additionally, jobs won't go to zero because more population creates more demand for goods and services which necessitates more jobs. This same absurd argument you're making was used to stoke fears about Irish and Italian immigrants in the past. Now we realize how stupid it was then. It's just as stupid now.
- politician 10y agoHow many people do you think would take advantage of your opportunity? How quickly would we expect them to act?
