RT @MendlovitzMark: @AlexNowrasteh @MarkSKrikorian Immigration is less like trade, more like a biz merger. Bad purchase is much less painfu…

.@AlexNowrasteh Open borders can't work for the same reason socialism can't work - both are contrary to human nature.

.@MarkSKrikorian If free migration is so contrary to human nature, why does the government have to come in and force it to end - with guns?
Mark Krikorian's avatar
From @MarkSKrikorian
.@AlexNowrasteh Because the ppl of those countries demanded it of their elected representatives. B/c open borders also contrary to self-govt

.@MarkSKrikorian I'm sure Americans from 1790-1875 would be shocked to know they weren't governing themselves despite open borders.

.@AlexNowrasteh Immigration has always been restricted by law. As times change, the legal restrictions change.

.@MarkSKrikorian Those few state laws back were ignored. A glorious American tradition is to ignore foolish laws.

.@MarkSKrikorian But if free migration is "contrary to human nature," wouldn't government have to create it rather than try and stop it?

.@AlexNowrasteh Now you're being deliberately obtuse. Desire to migrate is natural; but imposing unrestricted immigration on a community…1/2

.@MarkSKrikorian Socialism has more in common with the centrally planned & government managed immigration system you want.

@AlexNowrasteh @MarkSKrikorian Socialism is a red herring. Nearly all first world countries incorporate some elements of socialism.

@dpinsen @MarkSKrikorian Policies can still be more socialist. Really, he shoulda just left that can of worms closed https://t.co/QDAEjkM6J4

@AlexNowrasteh @MarkSKrikorian Sure, but he's right about the folly of open borders in 1st world welfare states.

.@dpinsen: surely you realize there are things Krikorian could do that would help stop Obama's agenda that he isn't doing, right?
