"But alarm systems don't prevent theft, they just restrict it to the better skilled thieves. If anything, weakening alarm system open theft up to the lower skilled thieves which makes things more equitable, not less."
> IMO the most equitable world is open borders
Man is not a solipsistic atom (though we can, to our own detriment and misery, choose to live self-absorbed, uncommitted lives). We are social animals that depend on a stable social order and a common good. That's why immigration is best done in a controlled manner so that the rate at which immigration occurs doesn't outpace and overwhelm the rate of absorption.

I realize this (imaginary) quote was well designed so you could just deflect any response as "that's not what I was saying." But it's pretty obvious your insidious statement equated the poorer people who might have less resources to offer a nation to take them in as 'lower-skilled thieves.' Taking the analogy even further, those with no money like many asylum seekers are 'no-skill thieves', which your analogy would cast aside as the most practical to exclude 'thieves.'
