can fit all the world population on the swedish island of gotland. That
the world is overpopulated with no where to go to, is just pure
nonsense.
That people need to secure permission to move across international
boundaries is not nonsense; it's a fact of life that can easily
be confirmed. Just try buying an airplane ticket to another country
without a passport and (usually) a visa.
While it is true that thanks to Norman Borlaug, the world is no
longer felt to be facing an urgent population crisis in absolute
terms, it is more populated than it was thousands of years ago, so
pretty much its entire habitable surface is organized into states
which patrol and defend their borders; that wasn't the case back
when people migrated to avoid past natural changes in climate.
