But why wouldn't they? It's the greatest place on earth. Obviously if they opened their borders the entire world's poor and disaffected would decamp to the Land of the Free.

You're going to be in trouble with that sort of talk Dana...you mischevious little imp you! lol

Of course that's where they'd go if the borders were opened. Where else would they go?

Yeah...then you'd all float south and end up in Oz...but this time not as convicts. Instead you'd be refugees and we'd lock you up when you get here.
