Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration

A graphic nonfiction primer from First Second, Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration (2019–present) distills complex immigration debates into a single, accessible volume. Created by economist Bryan Caplan and artist Zach Weinersmith, it uses clear visual arguments and data to challenge common assumptions about migration, advocating for a radical openness.
