Up until 9/11 there had been a growing body of work "theorizing" about the idea of "open borders." Not only did the nativism that's swept America since the terrorists attacks all but kill the thought even entertaining the notion open borders, but the weak scholarship that attempted to defend this idea was at best a slightly interesting mental exercise, at worst (which was most often the case!), just flat out not convincing.

Fortunately for the Left, good hearted liberals and Chomsky radicals need fear no more about losing this debate! Kevin Johnson has single handedly not only revived the case for open borders, but has also turned the oppositions' arguments are their heads by demonstrating not only HOW free movement of people can work for the U.S. and Mexico, but also why its in America's economic, social, and security interests to do so!

From here on out the main question surrounding this debate will no longer be WHY people should support this idea, or HOW would/could it be implemented, but why haven't we done it?!!!!
