Economics is not a hard science. I’m not criticizing its importance, just stating a fact. It’s difficult to be a hard science when there are so many diverse factors at play, including a huge contribution of human emotion, and the influence of dynamic political influences.
I stopped reading The Economist two decades ago. It only represents “Economist” thinking if that economist is Paul Krugman or Robert Reich
Some say it is “owned” by the Rothchild Banking Empire. I have no idea about that, but this rag certainly has globalist, elitist, highly statist themes and thinking.
Open borders just means that those that have not want what those that have and not work for it.
Illegal Aliens take our jobs and send the money to other countries. The majority pay no taxes. This makes us Poorer. Thanks DemocRATS.
The Half Percenters will be $78T digitally richer, not the world or any significant part of it.
Yeah, just think what it would do for the whole funeral industry.
We must never accept Surrender By Subterfuge

Americans want to see America richer.
The rest of the world can shift for itself.
This is the same smelly Eurorag that couldn’t get enough of Bill Clinton or Obama.

The author needs to step away from his computer—and never return.
The world would be grateful.
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality. …Those that want these things think exactly like Marx and Engels.
[I]n general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.
— Marx, 1848
What Hayek termed “broken window economics.” Break something, then spend billions to fix it, and pretend you came out money ahead.
Then why does EVERY country have borders?
Show me the successful model.
It will make a handful of people trillions of dollars richer and unbelievably powerful
There is an element of truth in that claim. Open borders could make the globalist elites much richer. They don’t care how much it costs ordinary people or how disruptive a rapid transition might be to our country. Elitists in the Ctrl-Left disgust me.

EXCLUSIVE: Emails Reveal GOP Senator Lobbied For Mexican Foreign Workers On Behalf Of Friend

Republican Arkansas Sen. John Boozman lobbied for low-wage Mexican foreign workers on behalf of a personal friend, emails obtained by The Daily Caller reveal.
A Boozman staffer, Rebecca Caldwell, emailed the U.S. consulate in Monterrey, Mexico to ask for 80 workers needed for a farm in Arkansas. The emails were obtained through an open record request by the Immigration Reform Law Institute and provided to TheDC.
Caldwell wrote in a May 28, 2015 email that she is contacting the consulate “on behalf of my constituent Doug Gillam of Gillam Farms of Arkansas, INC.”
“The senator has asked that I reach out to you regarding this issue as he is personal friends with [redacted],” Caldwell added.
Boozman’s office did not respond to a press inquiry about who this personal friend is. However, Gillam owns the farm alongside his brother, Jeremy, who is the Speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
