The first thing that came to my mind when I was this contest was how every member of my country (Nigeria) would totally move to abroad, including the government (ofcourse the governments have homes there already) and perhaps, other neighboring countries that have always admired Nigeria would come over and live here...what I call swapping. Even me that claims to love this Homeland so much will surely move to enjoy one of the freezing countries.🤣
But talking deeply about the effects (both negative and positive) of opening the border of a country and making it accessible to anyone to enter and leave without restrictions, it has advantages, but the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages.
The good side:
Improved oneness; Having the opportunity to live anywhere in the world would definitely make people more welcoming and limit racism. Let's make this example: One of the reasons most white people hate black people is because they don't have a close relationship with them, and also maybe it's because of the bad habit they encountered with the black or heard, that made them believe black people are bad, which is not a reasonable factor to conclude in such a situation. The blacks are good and down to heart.... meanwhile every trait has a bad side. Even the whites have their bad habits too.
Low cost of living; Opening borders means there'll be nothing like clearances and those charges imposed on imported good which is one of the major reasons cost of food are exorbitantly costly.
Also, because there'll be a balanced situation of labour, skills, and natural resources, things will just revolve well.
Imagine having the access to easily travel to these countries to watch live matches in the stadium. I should be in either New Zealand or Australia now, anticipating the upcoming World Cup.
The Bad sides
Increase in crime; The good sides sounded like there's never going to be an issue and the world will be peaceful, but that's completely impossible unless it's not humans that are involved. As long as we have open ways in and out of the country, the rate of crime will surely increase.
In Nigeria, kidnappers will take good advantage of kidnapping the whites and demanding huge amount of money for ransom, which has been a means of survival for such people in Nigeria. White magas pay well.
You've seen Yahoo guys begging to get details of the whites to cash out, right? They'll have easy access to it and do their scamming in grand style.
Imagine if those citizen of countries that have authorities to use guns move to another country and shoot at someone out of anger. That's a call for war between the countries.
Still on crime, free access to enter any country without a check will encourage the smuggling of drugs into the country which will boost the rate of crime in the worldPeople will definitely bankrupt countries that offer welfare privileges. Since it's open travel without restrictions, a lot of people would like to use the medium to exploit welfare benefits in countries that offer them.
