This is a dilemma about whether the freedom of individual movement is more fundamental than the institutional cohesion that countries provide. Both options come with predictable second-order effects — open borders dramatically expand the freedom of millions of people, but also stress public-services capacity in destination countries; closed borders preserve those capacities but at the cost of locking many people into circumstances they didn't choose.
Why people split
One side treats freedom of movement as a baseline human right that the modern state system happens to deny. The other treats the nation-state as a particular kind of cooperative arrangement that breaks down without membership rules.
