What would happen if we had open borders?

michaelsan

A good question as that is what Bush has negotiated with Mexico and Canada. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965
We all better start thinking about what this is going to mean as it has already been signed.

Basically the same thing that is happening now.
The UNITED STATES of AMERICA is turning into a third-world garbage disposal.

Say farewell to the American Dream.

we have had open borders for many years many illegals have come to our country and terrorists so what is the point of the question you ask? YOu should ask what would happen if we actually closed the borders and turned people away for once!

Oh, very simple, chaos, mayhem, death..mmmm...that pretty much sums it up!

king Ebanks of USA

we have about 3 billion people looking for a better life and work!!!

Stand of living would drop pretty quickly, can you say "THIRD WORLD NATION" we would become in a heart beat.

chupis

It would make you shake with anger

Honeypai

Um, we already do, how do you explain the illegal immigrant problems?

Lelani

Instead of 800,000 illegal people coming here we would be getting 1.5 million a year. Things would be so much worse. I hope the borders don't open up. I would have to move to Canada or Ireland.

Not a pretty picture, in my mind.

bush already told mexico no.

Since 1815 til about 2001 Canada and the Us had the longest undefended border in the world, then 9/11 happened, bush and the american government got paranoid, blamed Canada for all the terrorists, when in fact they came from inside the us , florida and bye bye undefended border.

It worked pretty well for almost 200 years up here , the occasional illegal, but because of Mexico and their illegals Canada got screwed because what the us does to Mexico they have to do to Canada.

Chaos.....this would no longer be our country.

DAR

education and services in countries that give those to poor people would first be ruined for the natives, then would cease to be given, exacerbating the divide between rich and poor and exacerbating other social tensions. War would be rampant.

We'd be even more overrun with greasers than we already are.

Squiddy

I agree with Scorpio X and I couldn't of said it better.

Lex

If we opened the borders, all Hell would break loose. The U.S. government would be hanging on by a thread. We can't afford to support Mexico, along with our own country.

We would get a new, young, FREE workforce who pays taxes. We are in the age were there are more baby boomers than there are working young people to support them.

If we opened the boarders, we would effectively solve this problem.

You should really look at Americans' Roots. WE ARE IMMIGRANTS.

ROAST really has a point. We (US citizens) have nothing left to lose and everything to gain. I don't think the Mexicans ever imagined that this could happen to them as it has to us. They will see. http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_4213.shtml

For Mexico and Mexicans nothing would change,but the Americans would have so much more to benefit due to all the agriculture and rich soil in the southern states of Mexico,and not to mention so much marjuana that would soon be legalized and taxed like tobacco.The property value and land would soon become a major issue.Somehow I think that wages would still be different in certain areas.Mexico has more to lose than the US.Let's leave it the way it is.What's ours is ours and whats yours is ours.

Shaan

Can we work towards it ? Lets first get rid of terrorism..... Wishful thinking... yet possible.
