Question

Why is the world not open to us to migrate to where we want as the world belongs to us all?

Answer 1

Because sometime in the past, people with  historical "rights" to the lands, money, or other means of power, seek to hold on to the lands they want to call their own. In some cases, they are "right". They worked the land and made it into something, where the prior people didn't do anything with it at all. Now that certain lands are made where it seems the people there now are getting the benefits that the lands offer, some other people, who's ancestors may have had some claim to the lands seek to retake them. Don't they see that the problems they had in their "own" lands they will still have, if they run off to another? They will just tear apart the work that has been accomplished to make the lands better, because they still don't know what they are doing nor are they willing to learn a different way( don't think I am "anti- immigrant," I am Navajo, I can make all sorts of claims to a land too, but, the past is the past, let it go and try to make the world better for the future).

Answer 2

Because immigrants speak different languages, have different cultures and quite often are looking for a job....

People in the country where immigrants are directed do not know them, are afraid of people they do not know (strangers), not sure they can trust them, afraid they won't have any more jobs ...

the main point is people are afraid of others and of losing their things ...

But control on immigration is also important to keep a certain social order in pre-existing societies.

But in the end I agree, the world is OUR

Answer 3

Because nowadays there are too many radical fanatics that we cannot permit to enter our country and other countries are doing the same..protecting their borders.  It used to be safe, back in the day, but it is not safe anymore.  Unfortunately.

Answer 4

I disagree with your premise.  The world does not, in fact, belong to us all.  I have a house - everyone is not welcome in it.  The same goes for countries and nations.
