Who will pay for all the social services required? The existing tax paying citizen via increases taxes and lowered standard of living. We already have a shortage of housing, overcrowding in schools & major budget deficits. No, open borders are not the answer - no country has/allows them because of the reasons above.

Maybe allow them to steal some land and build there without regulations? Just like the previous people did?
Are you offering to volunteer your place to live? A lot of things, like slavery and public beheadings were done 400 years ago, which aren't done today. Any other arguments you can provide to make your case rather than revisionist history?

You asked a question, I tried to provide an answer to it which is reflective of the common viewpoint.
