When President Monroe toured the country for the first time at the beginning of his presidency (in the summer of 1817), in order to assess existing fortifications in the Northern States, but also to get in contact with an ample representation of Americans - no other President before him met as many people as he did - he was warmly received. He had a very affable and likeable personality, and everywhere he went, from Maine to Boston, and from Detroit to Washington D.C., he received a fond and enthusiastic reception. It was, in fact, during Monroe's visit to New England, that a journalist coined the expression "Era of Good Feelings," a phrase that has come to represent the years that spanned Monroe's presidency.
Answer:
America cannot have a completely open border, for then there will be no "United States of America". A nation is defined by it's borders, and for it to be a sovereign nation, there must be a border, as well as guards to the border. In the case of opening the borders, you are essentially not only taking away the sovereignty of the nation, but also taking away from the very definition of a nation, "a large body of people united by common..., inhabiting a particular
land". Without a border, without protection, without those who want to continue to help the US grow as a nation, America will not survive. In fact, no country will survive, as their benevolence will lead to structural & internal collapse.
