During the 20th century, Western governments entered into social contracts with their citizens whereby they massively increased state welfare and taxation. That social contract is broken when governments allow those from outside to enjoy the benefits of state welfare while at the same time being under no obligation to contribute in the same way as citizens are obliged.
Border control is not only moral, it is absolutely imperative. No one in any country wants their country overrun by criminals and no hopers who just want a free pass to a place where they can commit more crime or get free government handouts, something which the Australian government does on a regular basis. The taxpayers who paid that money to the government have no say in the matter. Australian tax is the highest in the world. Border control obviously ignores the immigrants entering Australia via the northern coast of Western Australia. Labor takes advantage of that, having thousands of immigrants who need a helping hand, (and Labor's bank balance).

Wow betide anyone who dares to suggest we seek a world where each country provides a flourishing environment of their own.
