I posted some "open-borders ideology" from... noted anarcho-capitalist Bryan Caplan.

Indeed, I didn't attempt to debunk anything you said, other than point out they are easily debunked. You understand that these are two separate things, right?




I didn't say anything about being an anarcho-capitalist, just that it was open-borders ideology that has found zero working application in reality. You understand that these are two separate things, right?

If something is so easy to debunk, then please do so instead of just claiming it is and posting a non-sequitur.


I linked both a book and a talk that covers not only the specifics of the anti-immigration myths you raised by a great deal more on the subject.

To put it in briefly: Concerns over immigration's impact on labor markets and cultural assimilation are not only wildly sensationalized by not supported by any evidence in data or studies on the subject. They are a thin veneer over xenophobia.

The less immigration controls, the better off everyone(worldwide) is.

(I swear, the lump-of-labor fallacy is responsible for like 75% of this kind of populist tripe)
