I simply meant that open borders can be implemented by a straightforward increase in quotas. Nothing else has to change. The quotas doesn't even have to be removed, they just need to be made arbitrarily high so that they don't materially distort the free movement of people on the long term. (Ie. it might take a few years to get through in busy times, but if it happens legally, great. Also the real problem is that asylum seeking is inextricably linked to this. And ideally it'd be great if asylum seekers wouldn't have to live in some godforsaken tent city for years if they are legally allowed to move to the US in a few years anyway.)
I'm not aware of a standard definition. With capital O and B, I think of the book: https://www.smbc-comics.com/openborders/ https://www.smbc-comics.com/openborders/
With regards to "defund the police" I'm perfectly happy to accept that it means different things to different people marching side by side with the same banners. And similarly with BLM.
I think it would be great if people would question others who use slogans without explaining what they actually mean. (For example even if someone is full abolish the police yesterday, sure, there's still a lot of explaining to do. How would this happen? By a federal law? Is that even constitutionally sound? Oh, by a change in the constitution? Oh, just a local thing? So the FBI/ATF/DEA are still on? Okay, so what will happen with all the police staff, and their hardware? And naturally what will be done to .. um ... fight crime? Neighborhood watches? Random deputyzation every time a crime is committed? Is there going to be a standing committee that handles this? How are the members chosen? Etc.. etc..)
