Doesn't have to be a unilateral move for a single country; but MMT would suggest the degree a govt can invent money without secondary inflation effects is based on the available workforce to absorb it, more workforce more injection, more employed more output and more great works

My policy proposals are not rooted in catering to racists, that much is true.

You can be perfectly non-racist and still resent large numbers of outsiders suddenly moving into your community. The process will also make racists out of people who weren't so before. Policy that ignores fundamental facts of human nature is silly and, if implemented, dangerous.

The U. S. did in fact have open borders for a long time. I don’t think that experience supports your assertions. Another interesting experience is the Texas - California cross migration of the last 50+ years

True, half the population still thinks that doing pushups can stop a virus. Anyways, I do not look up to them for policy making.

I may disagree with you on policy, but I respect the purity of your elitism
