March 16 is Open Borders Day, an international holiday to raise awareness of the single most important policy issue of the modern world. Open Borders Day is a time to reflect on the many immigrants – legal and illegal – that we see all around us – and to contrast their value with the callous and cruel treatment they endure in virtual silence. More importantly, it is a time to reflect on the far more numerous immigrants you can’t see. Why not? Because virtually every country on Earth considers being born in the wrong country a crime worthy of lifelong exile.
Blog, Facebook, Tweet, and otherwise publicize under #OpenBordersDay. I’ll do a round-up of the best of Open Borders Day when the day is done.
