   I prefer open borders. The USA had open borders for about hundred years   
   and immigrants with hard work enriched the country and themselves.   
      
   Borders were closed by bigots. Irish on Atlantic ships were not   
   conspiring to overthrow the Constitution and let an Archbishop run the   
   country.
