At the high end, for skilled workers, there&#x27;s a lot of people arguing what you argue, even the skilled workers who would face increased competition for jobs.  And I admit, I find the argument compelling myself.<p>The interesting bit is that there are few who make this argument at the low end.   The idea of open borders for unskilled folks is way less popular.<p>The net effect of this, it seems to me, is that while there&#x27;s lots of support for me facing more competition, there&#x27;s no support for more competition in the labor I buy.<p>Now, one could say that is reasonable, just because I make a lot more money than I need to live, which can&#x27;t be said for less skilled workers, but it&#x27;s an interesting dynamic.
