Why Americans Should Immigrate

And why we all need Open Borders

Tom Hanks, your everyman, has got a better passport now. Look for the exits.

The immigration debate is viewed one way. Us hopping over your wall. But walls go two ways. Americans* are now trapped inside, with the plague and fascism on your side.

You know what my immigrant parents did when things got this bad? They moved. If you can see past the impossibility of this happening to America, this is happening to America. We have been there and we cannot warn you hard enough. Sure you need to fight, but thinking about your families, y’all need to move.

For the first time, Americans can understand the immigration debate from the other side. Because you’re the shithole now.

I think this gives us common cause.

Open Borders is usually framed as a debate about rich/white people letting more people in, but the entire terms of the debate have changed. Right now you need to get out. I’ve been talking about this for a while, but right now Open Borders benefit us all.

What I Don’t Mean

When I say we have common cause, let me tell you what I don’t mean. I do not mean you coming here as expats, or digital nomads, or tourists, or all the terms you use to describe racist opportunities we do not have.
