Should The United States Have Open Borders?

Arguments
So I answered "yes", but with the caveat that some other reforms must be done first, before open borders become viable. Otherwise, uncontrolled immigration just leads to the growth of shadow economy - which is not necessarily a bad thing, per se, but shadow economy coexisting with the official economy does lead to certain issues, pretty significant when these economical sectors are comparable in size.
It goes without saying that open borders do not prevent the government from issuing sanctions on especially hostile regimes. While I do think that, say, the average Iranian should be able to cross the US border with no issues - Khamenei definitely should not, and should be arrested on sight for crimes against humanity should he try to do so.
