Great points, agree very much.
To your point, say you have an "open-border" state with no tariffs, inflow/outflow tracking, passports, etc. Great, everyone can freely move INTO your utopia.
But residents of that utopia may be landlocked, since the limited government didn't issue them a passport. Effectively trapping them in the utopia, since they still need a passport to enter legacy nations.
Also agree with mass migration, but I think we need to look at it's cause. Look at the "magnets" of modern society. You migrate to Canada, you get money, healthcare, social security, and on and on. No wonder they're coming in droves.
In a limited scope state, you get none of that.
The government looks after infrastructure/basic security only. The rest is "pay-to-play" in the free market.
Which encourages physically healthy to migrate, not the sick.
Encourages the hard working to migrate, not the free-lunchers.
Encourages innovators to migrate, where they can solve problems without 1,000 government hoops in legacy states.
Of course, the refugees are welcome, but they need to earn their way and produce. I think effectively you'd end up with a "staging" area, shanty town for these folks who can't afford to "buy-in". They camp out as they attempt to grow, learn, upskill, and integrate into the fast paced market and own their future.
But the current magnets of legacy states are the real cause of mass migration IMO.
