If we declared open borders tomorrow, no immigration restrictions, what would the population of the US be one year later? What would the unemployment rate be?

Open borders means that there is no country. This is ridiculous. The U.S. will cease to exist without borders.

Impossible, every country needs to know who is in it. If it were to happen the population would explode exponentially, with not having enough resources society would collapse. Look at Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden if you need examples.

I'll agree with you on that, but it seems to be the In thing to be advocating now. Open Borders, no restriction on movements at all. It doesn't seem well thought out to me.

At a fundamental level our way of life would change..there would be classes of people and equality would die in the darkness..resources would dwindle and the once great USA would become a third world nation..

We've never had open borders, and the only people who ever mention the idea are nativist Republicans ginning up fear.

I've not seen it mentioned by any legislator, what I was basing it on are demonstrations where signs are carried demanding open borders, and speakers saying the same..

SSG David Fetty - Most likely in response to the dialog on that absolutely ridiculous idea started by right-wing pundits who accuse Democrats of pushing for open borders.

So the people holding the signs aren't smart enough to understand what the results would be, but are willing to put aside their own values and be a tool for the opposing party?

SSG David Fetty - They are no smarter or dumber than the Tea Party fools who held up signs to abolish the IRS.

There are no democrats advocating for open borders. It is made-up right-wing, fear-mongering bullship. It is a frequent Donald Trump campaign lie. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't believe it would make any difference inasmuch as we already have had open borders and immigration restrictions have been poorly enforced for many years.
