Open Borders

Jesus fucking Christ.

What does our lord and savior have anything to do with open borders?

What the fuck? Is this person retarded?

Simple supply and demand

labor supply v work to be done

Larger labor supply means less demand for labor means lower wages.

That's why events like the black plague and world war I and II are generally followed by a breif period of prosperity. The same amount of wealth shared by a smaller labir pool until they mishandle it and fuck everything up again.

Open borders only benefit "the 1%" that has all the money, employs the population, and owns all the land because then they don't have to listen to any of their worker's demands. Open borders is so fucking far in opposition to neoliberalism and core liberal principles that it's fucking baffling to me that people like this exist.

I agree with the liberal if you are soley talking about the price of the SP 500. The SP 500 benefits from open borders, due to the fact that it creates more customers.

As for people's wages I disagree.

I like mexicans, but I hate the fact they are willing to work for little money, affirmative action in government jobs, and a need to speak spanish instead of english.

>so fucking far in opposition to neoliberalism

I think you're getting confused with protectionism which is in opposition to neoliberalism. Open borders is one of the core tenets of neoliberalism and liberalism in general that the elite want to enact globally.

>any economic argument in support of or against any amount or type of immigration

It's a nation, not a shopping mall.

If you let anyone in, you do it because they are compatible with your lineage, ethos, and culture, not because they are cheap labor or they are "high-skill".

Everyone but populist retards agree that's it's good.

Can you please supply the URLs that irondeepbicycle hyperlinked to? I'd be interested to see what the counterintuitive conclusions of the "recent work" are based on.

>Most people are against open borders

Yes. The only problem with open borders is the welfare state and socialized government services. If people just came here to work and contribute to society that would be fine, but thats not the case now and probably wont be for the forseeable future.

So until you get rid of gibsmedat, you can't have open borders.

it probably would be good economically, eventually

but there are more important things than simply having the best economy, do you want open immigration from parts of Africa where they have no care for human life and rape and murder en masse? Or mass migration from middle eastern countries where they kick gay people from roofs to their deaths and treat women like second class citizens?
