Open borders would enable free movement of people and goods between jurisdictions with few or no restrictions like how the world was before people created these invisible lines. The idea of having a world with no borders and allowing anyone at anytime to go where they pleased is defiantly a virtuous thought but allowing this could not only be beneficial but harmful as well. The main argument by utilitarian in support of open borders is the belief that it would  “Give a much better quantitative sense of the importance of the open borders issue” which I believe is true. If people from all countries were allowed to be apart of any country they choose it would allow them to search for a better life as well as a place they feel more safe. I find the argument itself to be valid but I find the counter effect to be more harmful.

The predicted state of the economy with open borders would be chaos according to a literature review by Clemens which stated “Free labor mobility would lead to world GDP increasing by 50-150% relative to the counterfactual status quo scenario” If people were allowed to move and work where they wanted it could cause mass migration into the most wealthy countries causing a huge disturbance in the economic,social and political order as the world GDP would change at a drastic level.

I also believe it would cause certain countries to fall behind others as people would relocate jobs to where they feel benefited most and some countries offer more than others can. An example is the U.S and its current position in the envelopment of new technology which has made the country pay tech people more than most countries but the need of housekeepers in the U.S is very low resulting in it paying less than other countries. With open borders people who were involved with tech would most likely migrate to the U.S and housekeepers might migrate to a country that needs it more creating an imbalance of economy as it pushes certain individuals to one side.
