I'll agree to international aid, but why open borders? Plenty of people enjoy having a national identity (no man is an island), and open borders essentially forbid that. You may as well demand parents not show favor to their own children compared to the children of others.

The need to migrate can arise unexpectedly at any time.. natural disasters, wars, climate change, economic collapse, etc, etc, etc. You want to promote norms that will help you if you were in the same situation, which you can be quite easily.
