It's another hive learners contest for week 59 episode 3, and I will be talking about my view on opening all borders. Without wasting time, Let me jump right into the gist
I think borders are closed for a reason, and nations are formed for almost the same reason. Opening the borders is like leaving all your money in the house and announcing with a microphone that you left money at home. The only countries I feel won't feel the impact of such a decision are the underdeveloped countries of the world. Countries like America, Russia, Germany, and China will be major victims of such decisions as they will have to tackle the following problems...
One reason why nations are formed is so they can know their citizens and take care of them with the level of resources they have. However, if all borders are to be just open for people to come and go as they please, it will be difficult for the government to work with the number of population they will get which will further lead to the following
Inflation is the first thing that comes with overpopulation because the need for commodities will become high, compared with the availability of these commodities making the prices rise. Inflation happens when there's high demand and low supply of a particular commodity. At a point, even the rich will be affected.
With the prices of things going high and foreigners who don't give a shit about the country's constitution and welfare, the rise in criminal activities will certainly rise rapidly because it was difficult for the law enforcement agency to do their jobs with the number of manpower available.
If nothing is done about overpopulation, it's only a period before any country will go into recession. What's worse is that almost every country will go into recession with no way to maintain or manage both citizens' and foreigners' activities and if care is not taken, the countries might even go into depression.

Opening the border is one thing, the aftermath is another thing, when citizens begin to suffer because of foreigners, it will only be a matter of time before they will want to drive away the foreigners from their land, you can't blame them at this point, but then, even the foreigners won't want to leave what looks like a better life without a fight.
I will like to call this the world's greatest heist because foreigners will be wanting to loot as much as they can not caring what happens to the nation they are looting from. It's normal for a man to be selfish, and talkless seeing an opportunity to jakpa from a place like Nigeria to anywhere in the world you want. Many would find the means to make at least 20,000 to 100,000 dollars so they can come back to Nigeria and become big boys lol. But then not everyone will be able to achieve that genuinely. Imagine almost all the criminal hackers trying to hack one bank, the chances of breaking in are tremendously high, and many developed countries, (even some developing countries) will suffer this.
I would have loved to mention some advantages at this point, but then to what use will they be if they will end up becoming disadvantages in future. I think closing borders is just as compulsory as it is necessary for any country survival.
Thanks again for stopping by my blog today, until next time.
