1. First we'd have to very meticulously define "open border policy", as this could be defined and designed in many different ways.
(We could easily come up with 20 different definitions of "open border policy"... and if we do, then it would be virtually impossible to tell if it's addressed in the bible, or what the biblical view would be... as different definitions could actually contradict each other.)
2. After we've picked ONE DEFINITION, one VERY PRECISE DEFINITION, we could then discuss the OP's question.
3. Most likely, it isn't something that's really addressed in the Bible at all... but that may depend on what kind of definition we choose.

What if the so called open border policy means immigrants will not undergo to the legal process of naturalization but instead hide in the US for 20 or more years and ask for immediate amnesty and citizenship as long as some of them did not do any crimes, work in a legal way and pay taxes if that's true to some for the past 20 years and more?
Is this Biblical?

Pretty sure Heaven has borders........and, while it is certainly OPEN to all who desire to reside there, ya cain't just walk on in, ya gotta follow certain requirements first.........soooooooooo, I would not think it would be a Biblical principle.....what comes to mind when saying "open borders," would equate to "all paths lead to Heaven" in my opinion, and that is just wrong.
