Border restrictions are a recent phenomenon.

If you care about free markets or a smaller state, but not the free movement of labor at the same time, you are holding hypocritical beliefs.

Welfare can not work in an entirely free market system. Thankfully I do not believe in subscribing uncritically to one line of thought.

The “free market” is not a real thing and it never will be - it is a platonic ideal.

Every nation on Earth has border restrictions of some kind. Though recent in human history, such restrictions clearly have utility and value in the modern world.

It should be easy to move, live and work wherever one desires. Arbitrarily stringent border controls and immigration policies are a tax on us all.
