Is open borders solution to America’s immigration problem?

The days in the life of immigrants are tough. Recently a news has surfaced of a man being detained while he was driving his wife to the hospital for the birth of their child. The wife was left stranded at the fuel station and had to driver herself to the hospital. While the ICE agents say that the Mexican man was an undocumented immigrant who was wanted by the Mexican government on the homicide charges, the wife denies it. The wife says that while it is true that she is an undocumented immigrant, her husband is not and they have been living in the country for past 10 years. Variety of immigration lawyers in New York are still calling the policies of the Trump administration cruel and are calling them out on their inability to reunite the children that were taken away from their immigrants parents.






What are open borders?
More and more immigrants are asking to make the borders of the country more open rather than making the immigration policies stricter. While the Trump and his strict immigration advocates talk about the national security and low crime rates to make their policies more liked. However, what people cannot see is the loss of talented workforce, taxpayers money and the Trump’s willingness “to 'shut down' government" unless Congress approves funding for a border wall with Mexico.”

If government agrees about the open borders, there would be no problem of the legal or illegal immigration. All the current residents of the country can be granted the rights to live and work in the country. This would remove any immigration problem. Many countries such as European union, East African Community, Gulf cooperation council and more use open borders to create more opportunities and economic gain.

According to an 2013 report, the cost of enforcement of immigration laws was $18 billion annually. $18 billion dollars of the taxpayers money that can be used to make the country more developed and life of the residents more easier. The money can be used in the healthcare, technology, education, tourism and other sectors. However, the plan is just a theory can would not be applied by the US government practically.
