The effect of border opening to a country

[Black susano]

Border opening can either be harmful or be helpful to a country, it works vice versa. It can be harmful in the sense that bad goods and services can be brought in,weapons can be smuggled in, illegal migration of non citizens can have quick access to a country when the border officials are corrupt.
     It can also be helpful due to the price of goods and services because there will be competition in the market place there by making goods cheaper, it also strengthen international relationship.

In this case I would like to use my country as an example in Nigerian  the last past four years  was a tangle after the government shut down the boarder that duration difficulty was in the country cause the velocity of things was high in price and also there was a lot of economic situation all over the country and also food starvation will shower over the country and if it doesn't have a substantial boosting of local food production I will say that the country will be forced to go into starvation of food and will not be reasonable I think that should be it disadvantages right now

The government's intention for the border closure was good, but they never took the right part. Before a country's government is supposed to close down the border and restrict all foreign goods from entering, they should make sure that a lot of production has already taken place in their locality, and closing down the border will help the people start valuing and making use of their own-made products.
 
But the reverse was the case for Nigeria; it was all about politics. The government made a move in that hash closure because some groups of producers wanted to benefit the most from it. They stopped things from entering the country and later still took licenses from a few entrepreneurs, giving them to only selected people, who were to benefit the most from the border closure. In such a case, those in charge are now controlling the price of goods, which would have been at the lowest cost as they were home-made and not imported, but it seems like the reverse was the case.

So in the case of Nigeria, the border closure caused more harm to the citizens than the good it was supposed to bring. This is just based on my own observation and how I understood and witnessed the whole situation.

Border control serves numerous important purposes within a country, but it is crucial for the government to effectively communicate the reasons behind such measures and address any concerns or skepticism among the population. Transparency is key, especially considering past instances of inadequate border control.

By engaging in open and honest communication, the government can ensure that citizens understand the necessity of border control. This entails providing clear explanations regarding national security, including how border control measures help safeguard the population from potential threats and criminal activities.

This is a really difficult subject since open borders may lead to a larger interchange of thoughts and customs, as well as higher economic activity, but they can also pose security threats, as you indicated. So I believe it's critical to create a balance between security and transparency. One possible solution is to implement an organization of checks and balances at the border. For example, heightened security measures such as improved screening and background checks for persons entering the nation may be implemented, yet those who are approved to enter may continue to travel freely. This would provide a balance between safety and the enjoyment of mobility.

The negative effect of border opening can't be compared to the economic benefits of opening of border as it brings bring down price of goods and services

Much easier for the people to preach the State religion to foreigners. No missionaries needed.

Actually. Keeling the borders of the country opened and having a net positive flux of immigrants moving to the country would make some good and services to increase in price through time. In the case of countries like the United States, a good example is the cost of house, apartments and shelter in general. Which would also translate to the increase of price of renting a place to live.
As people move in, regardless of their social status and income, they all need a place to stay, the more demand and the same offer will inevitably translate to an increase in price, as the demand won't stop any time soon as the USA continues to be an attractive destination for people from developing countries, then it is save to say homed won't decrease in value.

Also, in the country people are moving to do not have enhanced infrastructure in hospitals and in their crop production, they would be also dealing with inflation in medical services and the price of food. The same logic of supply and demand. In the case of the USA, they have very good food production and infrastructure compared to other nations.

 The effects of opening border,I think in this case opening of border have good and bad , because not only good and nice goods that was expected from the country can pass the border,bad goods too can pass I mean harmful product so opening of border has a good advantage and bad disadvantage too
Two this are involved,even some of our offers on duty in the border many of them do compromise they do take some money and allow a harmful product to pass the border all because of bribe . asurming our officers on duty are being real,no harmful product wouldnt have pass thro and fro but they do compromise

Either of the decision of a country in opening the boarder or closing it, it has to be to the favour of the citizens because it both has benefit disadvantages, opening a boarder could serves a means for illegal entry of the people and other contrabands that could be dangerous to life, closing it could as well increase the economic challenge of the country especially when they lack the strength and capacity to be responsible for every demands and needs of the people, so looking closely into the condition around any of these decision could be the best thing to start with.

No country should open its borders illegally.  Each country has its own safeguards in place.  And that country is separated from other countries by its borders.  But if the border is not adequately secured and the border is not closed, many unethical activities can start from there.  Such as smuggling, human trafficking, arms smuggling, smuggling of goods or products by evading government taxes, these are very harmful to a country.  Because every imported and exported product is subject to tax.  From which the country benefits.  But any thing entering the country by tax evasion means for that country.  Moreover, arms trafficking, drug dealing can be a threat to a country.

Opening a country's borders often has negative implications. As the country is currently riddled with corruption the number of illegal activities will increase. But protection will be maintained if government controls are in place. There is freedom to travel between many areas as if you were traveling internally. There are no border checkpoints at the borders of the Schengen area. Also flights in the Schengen area are treated as if they are domestic flights you do not clear immigration upon arrival.

I've recently watched a talk that are illustrating how immigration isn't the long-term solution to the problem of a country and that it will only be more problem for that country to take in more immigrants, I'm not saying that taking in isn't a good thing especially if we're talking about people that are a casualty of war and they're seeking asylum, by all means take them in because they've already got no homeland to come back to in a while, they deserve the respite and the asylum away from war. Also, it's futile to fight illegal immigration and the smuggling of these immigrants because you can never win, the best thing that you can do if you're the country that's having this problem, you're probably better off helping that other country where you've got a lot of immigrants to prosper, that way, people from that country won't have any reason to migrate and make more money there since they're going to be fine with just where they are, it's what's the gist of the talk of that I've watched, I'll leave the link below, if you want to check it out.
