I don’t disagree with any of your points, I’m referring to the implementation. The recent open borders with Mexico has been disastrous. It’s a criminal human trafficking misery. And a flooding of criminals into the country for nefarious purposes

There are no 'open borders with Mexico' - what we have is a heavily regulated system with extensive controls and restrictions. This isn't theory - it's basic economics: restrictions create black markets, just as prohibition transformed a legal industry into a criminal enterprise of bootlegging and violence.

America has the world's largest prison population and plenty of criminal enterprises operating coast to coast. These aren't foreign imports - they're largely homegrown under our current system of restrictions and controls.

The current border system's complexity and restrictions create profitable opportunities for criminal enterprises while making legal movement more difficult - the problem isn't too much freedom, it's that overly restrictive systems tend to manufacture the very chaos they aim to prevent.

You are talking about a system that doesn’t currently exist. I am talking about what currently does. Your idea is a better alternative but it is far off
