Several reasons,1) Racism 2) Religious Bigotry 3) Protectionism 4) The potential for immigrants to cause political change 5) Environmentalism 6) Law worship "I don't mind immigrants I just hate dem damn ILLEGALS" 7) Some people really are worth being scared of (of course, a fair proportion of them are likely inside your particular prison already so...) Of those only #4 has any real merit and the way things are going it's not worth worrying about. I should add that I have no interest in working as one with anyone, but I would like to be able to freely exchange with whomever I wish. Do you find this valuable? |

If the world had open borders then the welfare state would be doomed. A good idea.

Australian society is a system that involves a lot of infrastructure, policy, laws, etc. Accepting immigrants willy nilly will cause the system to collapse. It is unrealistic to expect that we can supply our standard of living to anyone who wants it. By maintaining the system, we are in a far better position to help other nations as they need it. It is a utopic dream to think we will have free access to all regions of the world within this century. A nice dream though. Cheers, Dale Do you find this valuable? |
