What can be done to spread freedom around the world? One answer is to make different governments compete for citizens. States with private property protections, low taxes, and something like the rule of law are more attractive places to live than places that lack those institutions. When people leave the jurisdictions of bad governments, it deprives those governments of material support. That only works, though, if other countries are willing to take in the people who have left.
and, the articles also mentions that exceptions to criminality and disease would also exclude people such as quarantine.
In the case of welfare:
John Locke put it in no uncertain terms in his essay “For a General Naturalisation:”
Another objection very apt to be made is that it will increase the number of the poor…If by poor are meant such as want relief and being idle themselves live upon the labour of others; if there be any such poor amongst us already who are able to work and do not, ’tis a shame to the government and a fault in our constitution and ought to be remedied, for whilst that is permitted we must ruin, whether we have many or few people.
The welfare state may be bad, but that’s no reason for libertarians to support immigration restrictions.
I guess what Locke is saying is don't blame the player, blame the game.
