Please add a close border button!

[chainsawdaz]

I can't stand it, the way I play and design my economy it can't handle nearly 4 million immigrants per year, please add a simple 'close border' button to prevent immigration, I don't mind if we have to take a DAR hit or international opinion hit. I find that this one little thing breaks any of my long term plans and I find myself not being able to play more than a couple of years as the sound of 40 million extra unneeded population in 10 years time is a massive motivation killer.

If you ever run for office, you have my vote.

Some sort of immigration control at least. +1

Like are you for real?! I can't imagine that by 2030 the US population would be half a billion...

[chainsawdaz]

The Census Bureau projects a U.S. population of 439 million in 2050, which is a 46% increase from 2007 (301.3 million).[20] However, the United Nations projects a U.S. population of 402 million in 2050, an increase of 32% from 2007 .[21] In either case, such growth is unlike most European countries, especially Germany, and Greece, or Asian countries such as Japan or South Korea, whose populations are slowly declining, and whose fertility rates are below replacement.

Even by 2050 it aint supposed to be close to 500 million :/

Indeed we HAVE to have control over immigration/emigration. Now there is insanely big amount of people moving in EU and USA and like anyone could leave North Korea. That is just plain wrong

[Cdiplayer]

I agree. I think there should be two way border control. Prevent people from coming in, and prevent people from leaving

[Fistalis]

This goes back to more control over domestic politics etc.. something BG has never been big on adding.

Well you can make it too complicated and then the whole economy or militairy doesnt work like some other games in the same branch.
Nowhere i read there should be penalties involved if you do so. Law enforcement will rise and maybe penalties on diplomatic relations. Closing borders for leaving country should have a penalty then on DAR too.

There are no plans for migration controls at this time.

Please make plans!

In no country would they allow an influx of such huge numbers of immigrants each year, it just isn't realistic. In Europe, people are up in arms about a few 10,000s of immigrants. Can you imagine how their reaction would be to millions? I also find it completely unrealistic that in just 5 years, tens of millions of migrants will head for the west each year. The world's population/circumstances just don't accommodate for such a high number.

In real life, elections are fought solely on the topic of immigration/border control. In a game that tries to replicate politics, should it not also feature in some form in-game?

Yea, I think that this game really needs to add more migration controls. For example, you should be able to prevent citizens from leaving the country as well as prevent them from entering. Also, you should be able to limit the amount of immigration. I personally believe that this will enhance the realism of the game.
