I agree that hardly anyone argues for totally free borders. But many argue for more open borders for refugees (who by definition need help). Others argue for more free immigration from former colonies. Whether you are okay with that depends on your stance toward reparations, multiculturalism, helping those in need, and the duty of historical oppressors and colonizers.
I don't understand how this issue has epistemological dimensions. Can you explain?

The epistemological dimension, along which I find this ideology particularly ridiculous, comes from the "self-evidently true" and "doesn't need proof" parts.
