[quote=spdrun]Question is, if we had truly open borders worldwide, would that be such a bad thing? Everyone would have the choice of what sort of government they’d want to live under. It would make tyranny and bad government a lot harder to enforce.
Open borders and globalism should be long-term ideals, since no one should be stuck because they had the misfortune to be born in one region of the world or another.[/quote]
You are a bit misguided, IMHO, about everyone having a choice of what government they would want to live under if we had open borders. To the contrary, the globalization movement’s goal is to eliminate the differences between countries — cultural, governmental, economic, etc. That is **precisely** who so many of us oppose open borders. We prefer to have different cultures, governments, economies, etc. so that people can choose something other than what they currently have. Migration has always been a part of human history, and I would never want it to be otherwise, but eliminating borders and consolidating governments, currencies, trade rules, economies, religious preferences, ethnicities, (even races) etc. is not a positive thing, IMO.
We need to encourage the differences between cultures and countries and let people live where they feel like they would most fit in. Trying to force everyone into the same mold has never worked.
