Worth sharpening up what a "border" actually is and what it means to be "open". Entry and residence are two different things, for example. There is also the "interior border" of work permit requirements, proof of social security entitlement, driving license, etc. Simply walking across the border does not make one an American.

Totally agree. I'm even somewhat disposed towards arguments for open borders. I think there's a great deal of logic to the idea. However, I also recognize that there are some serious costs and considerations that would need to be thought through. And I think basically 100% of the people in this thread who are mad at Palantir over this have thought through precisely zero of them.
