I have no plan to abolish them. I just happen to know everybody would be better off without them. Same thing that without borders.

You seem to be troubled by the most irrelevant things. Things that don't change a bit what is right and what is wrong. Because that's what we were discussing, right?

Please, make sure you are not wasting our time with status quo bias and voters' irrationality.

Open Borders would cause the collapse of western society, and with it much of human progress, bringing mass misery to the entire world. It's one of the most evil things any person can advocate. It's unpopular because it's such an obviously bad idea.
