Open Borders - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Studies ignore many important factors in their calculation
      - Non-migrant workers at the destination may suffer from lower wages and may support more nationalistic and right-wing parties, which conflicts directly with the assumption of open borders (Rozo and Vargas, 2021), a world of open borders is just very far from reality and so many other factors would be different, too (in lines of Lucas Critique)
    - - Infant industry protection:
        young industries need to be protected until they developed enough and become competitive enough for free trade
- - - - Evidence:
        Michael Walzer, the distinguished communitarian philosopher, has argued in his book, Spheres of Justice, that the authority to limit membership of the national community is fundamental to national independence. In his essay, Immigration: the Case for Limits (found in this book), David Miller has also defended the right of the citizens of a nation to exclude migrants at the border on the basis of cultural continuity:"[T]he public culture of their country is something that people have an interest in controlling: they want to be able to shape the way that their nation develops, including the values that are contained in the public culture. they may certainly have good reason to try, and in particular to try to maintain cultural continuity over time, so that they can see themselves as the bearers of an identifiable cultural tradition that stretches backward historically."

        Open borders and welfare state cannot coexist
        
        reasoning&evidence Milton Friedman, Nobel prize-winning economist
        The transfer state redistributes funds from those with high-skill and high-income levels to those with lower skill levels. Low-skill immigrants become natural recipients in this process. On average, low-skill immigrant families receive $30,160 per year in government benefits and services while paying $10,573 in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of $19,587 that has to be paid by higher-income taxpayers. Even Julian Simon, the godfather of open-border advocates, acknowledged that imposing such a burden on taxpayers was unreasonable, stating, "immigrants who would be a direct economic burden upon citizens through the public coffers should have no claim to be admitted" into the nation.
