You can't really have true "open borders" if you are going to limit who can go where. We basically already have that. If you live in England or France or Canada or any other developed nation and you want to move to another developed nation you already have a clear path to doing so. Some countries may be harder to move to than others, but you can do it. The people that have difficulty moving to industrialized nations are those who live in underdeveloped/3rd world countries and have very limited resources.
From what I understand a true open border policy allows anyone from anywhere to go anywhere they please. The idea is that those underdeveloped countries would then become developed because it would encourage countries to pool resources and help each other out. In reality, at least at first, it would mean that many poor people would floor to the more developed nations in search of a better life. The hope is that they would then get jobs, work, pay taxes and become good citizens and that country could continue to prosper and maybe even help to develop some of the underdeveloped places so that people would have a desire to stay there.
I think it is an interesting idea, but in the end I don't think it could ever work. People are just too divided by culture, morals, religion and lifestyle have something like this occur on a grand scale.
