    Completely open borders? That’s almost like…imagine there’s no countries… 🎶

      I’m for completely open borders, but accepting refugees isn’t the same as open borders.

      It’s something the right have tried to conflate, but accepting refugees is the bare minimum and separate from accepting economic migrants, student, buisness visas, etc.

      I do think immigration policy should basically be passing a background check, but right now I’d be happy with doing the bare minimum as defined by the UN convention on refugees: https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/overview/1951-refugee-convention
