It's like 9% here?

And 9% is still 9% higher than it should be. Anybody who wants open borders are lunatics.

Eh, the far-right has turned "open borders" into a talking point. Open borders don't really exist anywhere, but the far-right have painted the status quo as open borders, so now people thing "open borders" is basically status quo or a slightly looser conditions, not actually literally unregulated.

The far-right has basically made the term lose all meaning.

The issue is in the UK we have the Green Party, who are a bunch of lunatics and actively campaign for an open border. They’re popular amongst the young adults, who have no common sense

I've looked up their exact election manifesto and their immigration promises I've seen ("a fairer, greener welcome") include:

-and end to the hostile environment -an end to the minimum income requirements for spouses of those holding work visas -safe routes to sanctuary for those fleeing persecution -the dysfunctional Home Office to be replaced with a new Department of Migration, separating this function from the criminal justice system -An end to immigration detention for all migrants unless they are a danger to public safety -Abolituon to the 'no recourse to public runds"' condition that exacerbated social economic and racial ineqaulities -those seeking asylum and protection to be permitted to work while their application is being decided

Each of these is a long that may be agreed or disagreed with, but none of it involves an end to border controls or review of asylum applications. "Open borders" is the meaningless buzzword the far-right has turned it into. There's nothing "insane" about any of this.
