      Inadvertently, I’ve discovered that some of my followers believe there is no “Open Borders” movement. They believe no one has proposed Open Borders. I just don’t know what to make of this. Does the WSJ not exist?? Do search engines live in my imagination?? Anyone? A little help.

      I'm a skeptic that open borders people exist in numbers beyond the flat earthers. I suspect people have their own definitions of what it means.

      My standard reply to laundry list persuasion is the same. What is your one strongest link/article supporting your point? If it looks solid, I accept your position.

      Scott. I think you could pick the first one from Eric’s list. I don’t think he intends the laundry list. He lists to make point that open borders is not fringe pos. I’m not sure sure how many people are real open borders but so many confuse legal / illegal (sort of open borders)

      Okay. The first one isn't about open borders. It's about a better process for letting workers work here, documented and controlled. That wouldn't meet my test of open.

      Scott, the Wall Street Journal literally called for a “five word constitutional amendment” so as to make their position crystal clear and nuance free. Those five words were “There shall be open borders.” What do you imagine this is? It’s not persuasion. It’s fact. Simple fact.

      Sounds like a definition difference. Would the WSJ allow known terrorists and criminals to come and stay without issue? I'd call that an open border. If the issue is efficient labor markets, I'm all for that if we have our own employment situation under control.

      Scott, this isn’t remotely persuasive. Assume you have the label or string “Open Borders” and you bind it to a large & influential movement. Then you have a large & influential “Open Borders” movement. It’s that simple. Also the movement itself eschews nuance: it’s just 5 words.

      I don’t care for whack-a-mole persuasion. You can admit that you are just wrong on this point. Not wrong as a person or a mind. You are simply wrong on a matter of decidable fact. What I‘m waking up to is that there are a huge number of folks, all wrong on this one weird point.

      I agree that some libertarians/intellectuals argue for open borders. Maybe the same number as flat earth believers, but with smarter arguments. I contend they are trivial in numbers and influence and will stay that way.

          Most libertarians who take that stance do so in combination with advocating elimination of the welfare state.

          Put simply, Libertarians arent pro-open borders in a vacuum; it’s part of a patchwork of stances that must all come into play to make sense.

          We currently have wink-and-not open borders right now and there seems to be no desire to stop it. I don't understand how you can think otherwise.

          No desire to stop it? Pretty sure the current occupant of the Oval Office got there in part on arguing should be stopped.

          Many libertarians are for open borders. All the libertarians I know are against having a welfare system. Having open borders and socialism will bankrupt the country quickly.

          The libertarian ideology has nothing to do with open borders btw. It is more of a cross-over/mix of policy preferences that leads to the very few libertarians who are for open borders. Who is a prominent libertarian leader who is for open borders.....?!

          The de facto open borders enthusiasts (an exponentially larger group) are the real problem.
