Debate How open should immigration be?, live and 1v1 on camera
Open borders or tighter limits? Debate immigration policy with a real person on camera.
Immigration touches the economy, security, culture, and basic questions of who gets to belong. It drives elections across the developed world.
What each side argues
Open borders
- Immigrants grow the economy and fill jobs
- Welcoming newcomers is a moral duty
- Diversity strengthens a country
Restrict
- Borders need control and the rule of law
- Rapid inflows strain wages and services
- Countries can set their own limits
These are common positions, not the full picture. The best arguments come out live, when someone has to defend them in real time.
How it works
- Check your camera and mic. Debaters go on camera; viewers don't have to.
- Pick the Immigration topic and get matched with someone taking the opposing side (Open borders vs Restrict).
- Debate live in a public room. The audience chats and a challenge timer rotates new debaters in so everyone gets a turn.
- The crowd can flag a debater off or vote to extend the clock.
