This short-sighted, reckless, and witless advocacy of open borders is the reason I stopped subscribing to @TheEconomist. Any rich country that adopted it would probably double its population within a couple of years and fall into chaos.

The U.S. welfare system isnt open access. Only citizens can get SSI and SNAP. Non citizen need 5 years of residency before being able to access TANF or Medicaid (which often have worked requirements).
True 'open borders' means open citizenship, and open access to the welfare state.

No, it just means open borders. Its letting people live/work in the U.S., not changing the welfare system.

So you advocate a two-tiered system of politically disenfranchised workers and elite citizens with voting rights and welfare benefits? Like in Kuwait?
