There is this myth that if borders are opened, suddenly a deluge of people will come and somehow flood the local community.
Iceland is tiny, 350k people. It's in the EEA. Everyone in the EU can just move here and start a new life, no work visa required — including from countries that rightwingers used to love scaring people in the North and West with: Poland, Bulgaria, Romania.
Guess what? No deluge. No flood of economic migrants. People don't want to uproot their lives willy-nilly!
