It's impossible not to have immigration laws for the same reason that communism doesn't work: people are too selfish, and people with lots of things will spend time and energy to prevent other people with no things from taking their things. People in rich countries have lots of things. People in poor countries who want to immigrate to rich countries have few things. Ergo, people in rich countries will ensure that people from poor countries are more or less kept out because the rich are afraid of the poor taking their things. And rich and poor are relative of course. So a fast food worker in Iowa is still rich relative to a 15 year old from Honduras, and thus will behave accordingly. Of course you can argue whether this is or isn't "right." But it's reality and it won't change anytime soon. Maybe after global population stabilizes and we move towards a post-scarcity economy.
