Yeah, make the poor pay more
That's the solution!
They depend on government handouts or other donations and making them pay more will solve the problem now
FTA:

also FTA:

Does anyone on HN actually read the article anymore? They specifically address this:
> To clarify, “open borders” means that people are free to move to find work. It does not mean “no borders” or “the abolition of the nation-state”. On the contrary, the reason why migration is so attractive is that some countries are well-run and others, abysmally so.
You're using a different (and unspecified) definition of "open borders" than the authors of the article.
If his "open borders"' "free to move" does not include "free to move across borders", then it's a troll piece. If it's "free to move, if immigration law permits", then it's a tautological piece.

Maybe you should try reading the article to see what the article is about.
> If the worry is that future migrants might not pay their way, why not charge them more for visas, or make them pay extra taxes, or restrict their access to welfare benefits? Such levies could also be used to regulate the flow of migrants, thus avoiding big, sudden surges
