I think every sovereign nation should be able to decide who comes and goes across their borders. If you are for open borders we will just have to agree to disagree. I'd love to see reforms to allow more legal immigration though, just not at the expense of our nation's security.
If we all had open borders the problem might solve itself? And sovereign from when? If someone, say Putin, decides he's gonna wage a war here & wins, is he then sovereign in your eyes? Should we give indigenous people their land back because we invaded a sovereign nation? When do we close the gate?
You are making a great argument for clearly defined, defended borders and an enforcable imigration policy. If the indigenous people of many nations had these, they might still hold many of the lands that have been lost to them.
Maybe our energies should be focused on dealing with criminals in the world, like 45 and Leon, who take advantage and the rest of us keeping an open world? Too much, right, like ubi and universal healthcare...
