Exactly. I live in a developing country and I can tell you for a fact that the main reasons many developing countries are poor are because of partly/completely closed economies and legal systems that are distorted to protect and preserve such oligarchic arrangements. The idea of an "open border" and union with developing countries might be the fire lit in the ass of developing countries' political elite to get their shit together so they can take a bite out of a larger economic pie. Viewed from this lens, what happened to Greece and its forced compliance with IMF guidelines to open up its economy, while painful in the short term, might be one hell of an opportunity to improve its economy.
