A Migration Metaphor...We Are In This Boat Together

by Evan Jones 

     We are all passengers on the “Titanic,” our Earth; migration is a wind storm buffeting the ship; border control is an umbrella.  We quickly discover that...

1. Wind is not the problem; let it blow!  Of 1.3 billion potential immigrants worldwide, fewer than 0.10% actually settle in  the US each year, even with our virtually non-existent border control.  We could save ourselves $8 billion/year in wasted INS costs, by recognizing what now exists; open borders!    National borders are becoming archaic in our time; witness  those of the European Union.
