Great article! I think you nailed it about how to be a principled, political standout. Personally speaking, I'm a younger guy in my mid twenties who was a soft MAGA supporter. I used to like Trump's border wall, but I am warming up to the idea of open borders after some thinking. I'm still working out where I stand on the issue, but here are my thoughts so far: 1) people have freedom of movement except on private property, and countries are not private property. 2) the American economy would benefit from a wider pool of talent in the labor force, thus making open borders of benefit to American citizens. 3) conservatives fear a massive influx of dangerous criminals pouring into the country with open borders; however, it is impossible to "pre-screen" people for crimes that they may commit in the future. Current immigration policy proves ineffective at this anyways.
But this is where I get stuck with open borders. We cannot feasibly "pre-screen" criminals, so if a crime is committed then how is it fair for taxpayers to support the offender while serving jail time? I would love to hear your thoughts, and I'm looking forward to the next article. Thanks!
Interesting perspective with the blue ocean strategy. I had never heard of that.
