Before 1914, America had nearly open borders, and almost Americans think that was a good thing. So why do those same Americans—myself included—say “No” to open borders today? The great Milton Friedman explained it simply as follows: you can't have free immigration and a welfare state at the same time. Back in the 1900’s, a third or more of immigrants went home. No job, no safety net, no staying. That filter meant that only the people who came to work extremely hard, assimilate, and build, stayed here. Today, the filter's gone. And when the filter's gone, the incentives flip. Someone who can't make it here doesn't have to leave anymore. Their U.S.-born kids qualify for benefits, many states offer their own programs, and staying beats going home, whether they came legally or not. So instead of keeping only the people who make it, we keep the ones who don't, too. In some immigrant groups, a majority of households use at least one welfare program, while social services are stretched and the debt keeps growing. And there's a second change: three work visa programs that didn't exist in 1914. The first is a work visa called the H-1B. Companies use it mostly in tech, often paying lower wage levels to foreigners—mostly Indians—than comparable Americans. The second is OPT, which stands for Optional Practical Training. It lets foreign students keep working in the U.S. for up to three years after graduation, with no test of whether an American could fill the job. Employers also skip payroll taxes on them, which makes them cheaper to hire than an American grad. The third is the J-1, a so-called exchange visitor visa. It brings in researchers, au pairs, camp counselors, and seasonal resort workers, often at lower cost than hiring Americans for the same jobs. All three tie the worker to the employer sponsoring them, so they have less leverage to push back. The result is fewer openings and softer wages for American workers. In short, open borders worked when the only thing on offer was opportunity. That’s no longer the case, unfortunately, and Americans rightfully want the immigration system to be reformed abd start serving the interest of American citizens and workers first.
