for many other things such as a path to citizenship for current illegal immigrants or more visas the main goal isn t a physically open border but an own society that respects immigrants rights recognizes a right to migrate and abjures the conceit that it can and should completely control entry and insist on total immigration sovereignty and anyway there are other ways to get here boats small planes tunnels shipping containers so physical prevention of all illegal immigration isn t realistic what we need to do instead is overhaul public opinion and the social contract so that we can live and thrive with it migrating from the womb and across borders to security and personal agency may 29 2022 joel newman 22 comments note the views expressed in this piece may not reflect the views of the managers of this site or of the other writers who contribute to this site supporters of open borders hold a diversity of views on topics that intersect with open borders advocacy the long conflict over whether abortion should be legal in the u s will climax in the next few weeks when the supreme court issues a ruling on a case from mississippi one that is likely to overturn the roe v wade decision from 1973 which granted abortion rights if the ruling leads to prohibitions on abortion in many states it would increase the salience of the ability of women seeking abortions to cross both state and international borders the open borders cause has more in common with opposition to the right to abortion however both pro life and open borders advocates seek the survival of and personal agency for the helpless and vulnerable by respectively allowing nearly all fetuses to exit their mother s body and allowing nearly all would be immigrants to exit one society and join another both fetuses and many would be immigrants are in undeservedly helpless and vulnerable situations the fetus did not choose to exist inside the body of the mother and has no control over their fate which may be their termination either intentionally or naturally many would be immigrants are likewise undeservedly endangered impoverished and or persecuted by the political social environmental and economic conditions into which they happen to be born and grow up and aside from emigrating they have few if any opportunities to improve their extremely constrained and imperiled situations the conditions are characterized by violent conflict widespread corruption and crime government dysfunction illiberal governance discrimination natural disasters and or unsafe climates for example a combination of drought conflict and economic collapse has resulted in most afghans not having enough food to eat and the lives of afghan women are constrained by the taliban who rule the country the situations in yemen south sudan syria haiti central america and venezuela are similarly perilous and difficult there are numerous other countries whose residents lives are circumscribed and threatened to various degrees by adverse conditions in those countries open borders and anti abortion policies would end the dependence of fetuses and would be immigrants on the decisions of others as to whether they will escape their helplessness and vulnerability and gain security and personal agency in the case of the fetus personal agency is realized if they are allowed to be born and to develop into an adult with abortion currently available as a legal option healthcare workers based on the wishes of their patients may deliver babies safely and nurse premature infants back to health or they may use their skills to conduct abortions in the case of would be immigrants ilya somin the author of free to move notes that the opportunity to cross international borders can constitute a life transforming event often also a life saving one however currently the opportunity for haitian afghan syrian venezuelan and other would be immigrants to gain control over their future and often to survive is limited by restrictive immigration policies formulated by the countries to which they desire to migrate it is acknowledged that illegal migration is an option for would be immigrants that does not exist for fetuses however this option is unrealistic for those without the resources to finance often expensive attempts to cross a border illegally even those who attempt to cross a border without permission face terrible often deadly consequences it also is recognized that the agency of women with unwanted pregnancies must be considered these women deserve sympathy especially when contraception has been used but failed to prevent pregnancy poor single women with unwanted pregnancies are in especially challenging circumstances yet even in these situations the woman s life is rarely threatened by the pregnancy and she still retains some agency albeit limited by a pregnancy in addition to attempting to provide protection and agency to the helpless and vulnerable there are other similarities between the open borders and anti abortion causes first the groups that are championed by open borders and anti abortion advocates are both viewed as threats by some nativists sometimes describe immigrants as invaders similarly some supporters of the right to abortion characterize fetuses as intruders while the pro choice movement does not appear to promote an association between access to legal abortion and reductions in crime some academics have provided evidence of a connection meanwhile nativists have long associated immigrants with crime second there is overlap in the available arguments for pro life and open borders proponents with respect to the impacts on society if their desired policies are realized both open borders and pro life advocates can emphasize the concrete macroeconomic benefits of their policy positions in addition to moral arguments both fewer abortions and more immigration by increasing the population of younger people would mitigate the impact of low fertility rates in the united stated and other wealthy industrialized countries as well as some less wealthy ones while some have discounted the negative impacts of low fertility rates others predict that t he strain of longer lives and low fertility leading to fewer workers and more retirees threatens to upend how societies are organized around the notion that a surplus of young people will drive economies and help pay for the old there is little sign of wage growth in shrinking countries and there is no guarantee that a smaller population means less stress on the environment the material benefits of open borders in particular could be dramatic as reflected in the academic literature that suggests massive increases in world gdp from free migration as well as providing economic benefits at the national and local levels third there are keyhole solutions available to help address challenges associated with both prohibitions on abortions and open borders policies in the case of abortion christine emba of the washington post notes that e xpanding access to contraception is an easy compromise that could lessen the need for abortion free high quality pre and postnatal care combined with expansive economic and social support for parents and children would make choosing parenthood a less daunting prospect others have highlighted universal paid family leave and the provision of child care for working mothers as part of an effort to create a culture where women children and families can flourish facilitating adoptions would be another way to address unwanted pregnancies for open borders surtaxes on the earnings of immigrants could be used to ameliorate any negative impact on american workers due to competition from an increase in immigrant labor while some economists assert the existence of such impacts others challenge those assertions there is a significant incongruence in the role of government between open borders and anti abortion policies open borders rests on dramatically scaling back government interference in the lives of individuals whereas abortion prohibition constitutes an expansion of government interference yet both policies would protect the helpless from actions that rob them of the opportunity to survive and gain personal agency and both could benefit the larger society my q1 2022 donation to free migration project january 12 2022 vipul naik 12 comments i m planning to make a donation of 3 000 usd to free migration project fmp in january 2022 this blog post goes in some detail on my reasoning edit the donation was formally made on tuesday january 4 2022 via ach as planned https vipulnaik com blog my q1 2022 donation to free migration project is the post s canonical location but does not accept comments i m cross posting to openborders info here given that fmp works in that area as well as the ea forum here given that some of my decision making process was guided by principles similar to effective altruist principles borrowing from larks ai alignment reviews i use openborders and eaforum for portions particularly relevant to the readerships of those sites sections background of where i am with respect to donations brief description of free migration project some considerations specific to my relationship with free migration project some background thinking motivating this donation reasons for amount reasons for timing potential future donations thoughts on fundraising dynamics background of where i am with respect to donations in a november 11 2021 post on another donation i wrote extensively about where i currently am with respect to donations the tl dr is that right now i m only looking at time sensitive donation opportunities that beat fallback donation targets such as the ea funds and the givewell maximum impact fund and i m not being super proactive in identifying these opportunities i am also limiting my budget to 1 000 usd per month starting july 2021 as of january 2022 the total amount i can spend would be 7 000 for 7 months of which i already spent 1 000 on the previous donation my donation to fmp thus uses up 3 000 of the remaining 6 000 still leaving an unallocated 3 000 that would roll over to increase the budget for potential future donations brief description of free migration project i ll quote the entirety of fmp s mission and history page rather than writing my own description which would likely be less accurate free migration project represents immigrant clients in their legal proceedings provides legal support and training to organizers and advocates engages in public education and outreach litigates in the public interest and advocates for fair and open immigration laws free migration project represents clients in public deportation defense campaigns and provides legal and strategic support to undocumented organizers fighting for immigrant rights we believe that working with undocumented clients to elevate their stories and struggles has helped to educate the public and engender support for undocumented communities in pennsylvania and beyond free migration project envisions a world where free movement of people is the legal norm we call for recognition of a human right to migrate and the abolition of deportation founded in 2016 free migration project is a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization based in philadelphia pennsylvania you can also take a look at fmp s 2021 annual report for a more concrete picture of fmp s program work some considerations specific to my relationship with free migration project i served on the free migration project board from may 2016 to december 2021 and have had past connections with its founder i was one of the founding board members of free migration project attending its first board meeting in may 2016 i m stepping down from the board at the end of december 2021 a little before my maximum of six years on the board would be completed i have known david dave bennion fmp s founder since 2013 i also wrote the email introducing dave to alexander berger then program officer for u s policy at open philanthropy this would ultimately result in a 24 000 grant from open philanthropy i don t think the fact of me doing the introduction had much effect on fmp getting the grant i also wasn t the person who originally had the idea of connecting fmp to open philanthropy openborders in the proposal that david bennion submitted for fmp he mentions discovering openborders info in 2013 as one of the influences that led him to start fmp i had originally started openborders info back in march 2012 openborders back in october i posted an excerpt from javier hidalgo s unjust borders that goes over some of this history rather coarsely starting with bryan caplan s blogging that influenced my decision to start openborders info i donated in december 2019 to discharge my board member obligation in december 2019 i made a 3 000 usd donation to free migration project i described my reasons for the donation on my donation history page i see it as the equivalent of sending 500 year for 6 years which is the duration of my board tenure there isn t a very specific reason for the timing other than the fact that at the end of the year i m thinking about donation opportunities and in particular looking at donations that i have some sense of obligation to make i m not planning to make a followup donation in the near future since this donation discharges my responsibility any further donation decisions will be based on the same sort of extensive analysis that i subjected my ea hotel donation to as a board member i have access to private information and this influences my decision somewhat as a board member i have had access to a lot of private information about free migration project none of this private information is inconsistent with or even surprising given public information however the private information does give me a clearer picture of the organization that outsiders don t have which gives me more confidence about some things in an ideal world i might want to summarize the private information into nuggets that can be disclosed publicly and run them by fmp before publishing however the time constraints i currently have for this post don t permit that however i can describe some of the kinds of information i have access to that influence my decision to donate that an outsider wouldn t have access to information on foundation funding received by fmp including the names of foundations and in many cases the amount and the timing of commitment and disbursement only a subset of this information is public access to fmp s strategic plans and some of the legal and tax filings access to b...
