My view of an “Open Planet”

I've said many times that with no border visible from space, humans should be able to go and settle wherever they might wish on the planet.

This bold and brave concept however, would come with a few caveats. First, migrants would need to ask for permission, and get it, before entering a space, a nation or a culture. They should also not expect any form of hand out; the move would entirely be at their expense.

Each community will be free to appreciate if anyone should be let it. This could be done on the basis of being refugee or having skills or character that are very desirable or in high demand within that community.

Then, if they are let in, migrants would have to agree and promise to conform to the customs, the language and rules of that community, commit to fully integrating into that social profile and endeavor to add value to their new place of residence.

If migrants enter without having been invited (that means illegally), they'd be liable to be kicked out or suffer other sanctions. Finally if they don't want to conform to their host society fabric and traditions, they too would place their resettlement in jeopardy.

The idea is to add value to the host society, not hurt it or tear it apart. Pretty simple.
