On the Concept of Not Being Able to Hire Somebody Just Because They Live on the Wrong Side of Some Imaginary Line

Not racist, nationalistic, economically illiterate, fascistic, and mean-spirited enough........................................................................................P.S. According to economist, Bryan Caplan, the world opening up its borders to the free flow of goods, services, and workers would ultimately result in a doubling of global wealth and a near eradication of poverty (I also submit that it would greatly reduce warfare)....Of course, he also submits that because of the general public's anti-foreign bias, their overall ignorance of basic economics (those who understand the text/argument are almost always free-trade and pro-immigration while those who don't invariably aren't), etc., we'll probably continue to elect the same type of dumb politicians and our nativist leanings will as well prevail.
