Svalbard allows anyone in who can prove they can support themselves due to a long standing international treaty.
However that's the thing: the real problem with unrestricted migration is it'll overwhelm social safety nets. Svalbard is ensuring that won't happen with that policy, and the fact it's a freezing cold place in the Arctic that few want to move to.
Social safety nets for sure.
Look at Denver today. Hospitals are on the verge of bankruptcy
