Freedom of Movement is a human right! Everywhere. For everybody. In every direction!

It's a nice sentiment but it would cause a lot of issues.

I think it would solve a lot of issues, at least in the long run.

Probably would in the long run but we'd have to live through decades of upheaval as workers in rich countries saw their wages plummet to 10% or less of what they were. Even just tiny amounts of immigration cause ultra right wing movements to start taking majorities. We would be living under fascism, and fascism isn't easy to get rid of.
