Should the U.K. have Open borders

I broadly support free (ish) movement of labour between states that have a per capita wealth higher than our own.

Albeit I say 'ish' because I'd still impose limited requirements sorrounding capital and language

Would you also impose restrictions connected to age, criminal record, health and family size?
Or just restrict require employees to accept full liability for all their overseas citizen staffs healthcare and legal costs.

Age - No, capital requirements mean I don't much care.

Criminal record - Yes. No criminals.

Health - No. Recent changes mean immigrants need to pay for NHS access or require private insurance.

Family - Children yes subject to private education or home schooling. Spouce, yes. Subject to double capital requirement.

Basically, if you don't have 200k in advance along with a clean criminal record and a satisfactory education then your not coming in but essentially I support golden visas in an extended manner.

I should say that I basically support golden visas so I would require immigrants to purchase a property in the UK and prove that they have funds in advance (I'd set the level around 200k).

No for one reason that it is completely incompatible with the environmental and sustainable development goals that have been set. Mass immigration is the leading cause of the loss of habitats and ecosystems in the UK and increases the carbon footprint far greater than a few folks eating a few extra slices of meat or driving to work. The UK has some of the fastest dwindling forested areas in Europe as a result.

If any politician proposed this theyd find their head on a pike.
Ridiculous idea, we want immigration of skilled and useful workers not the world riffraff... it might not be nice, warm and humane but immigration policy iosnt meant to be, its cold hard and calculated to benefit Britain, not as a sop to would be economic migrants.

Wow! I can just see all of those "skilled useful" workers queuing up to enter a country such as ours knowing they are going to be so warmly welcomed by folks like yourself. You are a great ambassador.

Why thank you
Alas, if you really dont understand immigration politics, that ignorance is solely on your head though.

To be honest I think every country should have open borders.

It would make it easy for employers to find the best employee for the job, and for employees to find the job that suits them best. It would make it easier for consumers to buy products from anywhere in the world, and for businesses to sell in whichever markets they like. It would make all economies far more competitive.

I don't really see the point in putting arbitrary barriers around arbitrary pieces of land.

Given the pre-existing wealth disparities that exist, it would in all likelihood destroy the ethno-cultural identity of states like the UK. If even 1% of the third world decides to move here it would be disastrous given our (i.e. white, Christian/atheist countries) low numbers.

Importing people from states which are not market democracies could also ironically destroy the very thing that attracts them.
