Well, I´m not going to buy the book just yet, but I hope I don´t need to in order to argue against this idea of open borders. For me the main problem is that with open borders you eliminate the social/cultural/economic borders, making every country a continuum of mediocrity, which at the long rum would stifle creativity, progress, science etc. Imagine if the border were fully open in Spain and millions of North African muslims came in, this would become (I´m writing from Spain) another poor, disorganized and failed North African country, with a religious authoritarian government that would not allow for any progress or freedom. And since poor uneducated and religious people breed more, the same would happen to every other country.
