Ah, I hadn't heard of that proposed policy, maybe I wouldn't vote for her then.
You can check her website and you can check her Wikipedia. I'm not exaggerating.
But this is not unique to her. This is actually a purest form of libertarianism when applied globally.
A few years ago this came up with Gary Johnson who had previously espoused open borders but backtracked a little bit as immigration became a high point in the Trump 2016 campaign.
The argument goes that free trade could double universal GDP. And there is some data for this. Get rid of borders and you will see the entire world GDP go up. Obviously if I'm a guy in India this is great. But if you're inside the United States voting for president, this almost assuredly will lower your standard of living as averages move downward. You would obviously also see significant influxes of population numbers leading to various intangible problems that we still aren't great at solving like culture clashes.
I admit that it seems at least a consistent principle in ideology. But I must question does such a candidate realize they're running for
American president?
Jojo appeals that this is a moral move. And yes in a human condition way maybe it is. Giving 10 Guatemalans a better life and decreasing my quality of life is overwhelmingly a moral improvement right? But is it truly freedom that is being sold to me the American in such a position?
I would argue that solving our legal immigration system with something like Canada's point based system (Trump is right on this) and then increasing our refugee allocation (trump is wrong here) is also a moral increase, but doesn't require such radical moves that will likely inflame cultural tensions and punish American voters economically.
