As the presidential elections heat up and the border debate rages, this raises an important question that no one seems to be asking: Why are so many Democrats suddenly pushing for open borders? When has this ever, in the history of civilization, made sense?
Popper's solution was the "Open society": a borderless world free of tribalism, nationalism, and provincialism; a democratic society that shares a universal morality and in which truth is tentative at best.
It is no coincidence that Soros, whose money fuels both liberal politicians and policies, should name his non-profit advocacy group the Open Society Foundations.
In a February 2016 interview with the New York Review of Books, Soros explained why he is "a strong supporter of the values and principles of an open society" and how German Chancellor Angela Merkel, through her "Open door" immigration policy, demonstrates that she "Shares those values." He goes on to say that the European Union is "The embodiment of the principles of the open society."
One might have thought that after so many terrorist attacks, the engineers of the Open Society would want to pause and reconsider their course.
At stake is how to strike a balance between the open society and the defense of citizens.
Until the charms of the Open Society can take their full effect on these new arrivals, terrorism is understood to be the price we - i.e., those of us not surrounded by walls and armed guards - must pay for progress.
