Immigration & Open Borders (Show 046)

On show 046, Mosley and Arthur have an excellent discussion about immigration. They explain the Objectivist position on the issue, open borders, and demonstrate how it is the only moral, and consequently the only practical, position to have.

I think Dr. Harry Binswanger puts it very well,

“A foreigner has rights just as much as an American. To be a foreigner is not to be a criminal. Yet our government treats as criminals those foreigners not lucky enough to win the green-card lottery.

Seeking employment in this country is not a criminal act. It coerces no one and violates no one’s rights. There is no “right” to be exempt from competition in the labor market, or in any other market.”

For many, “open borders” is likely to trigger an emotion, a sense of vulnerability. But if one considers the issue seriously, it can be seen that these alleged insecurities and threats are superficial. Listen to the show for refutations on criticisms such as: terrorism, crime, disease, cultural damage and overpopulation.
