I liked this defense of free movement against the "threat" of cultural change by @donovanchoy at @libertarianism very much. From the impossibility of genuine preservation (left) to the defense of openness in the Kukathas invocation (right). 1/3 libertarianism.org/articles/cultu…

I've been dusting off some of my old open borders writings preparing for a new essay. This is very much in the spirit of what I was trying to write here: 2/3 openborders.info/blog/the-illus…

I was vibing along to the @donovanchoy piece when I was thrown out of my reverie by my old open borders nemesis: "keyhole solutions." The juxtaposition w/ Kukathas is interesting given his concern for the extent of control *over natives* that immigration restriction brings. 3/4

I once argued that keyhole sol'ns enable exploitation. I didn't think much then about how keyhole sol'ns increase gov't control. Kukathas points to difficulty of distinguishing migrants/natives & their close ties. Such regimes must impact natives too. 4/4 openborders.info/blog/the-open-…
