The capitalists and their states use migration to divide workers and increase the rate of exploitation. But workers have no interest in limiting the movement of their class sisters from other countries. As the history of capitalism has shown, restrictions on migration don’t really stop anyone from moving – xenophobic laws simply deny immigrants their rights, and therefore lower wages even further.

USSR&China and the rest had had closed borders. And there is a reason for that: The economy has to be managed in the interests of the workers, and such aspect as immigration has to be completely controlled, if we want a managed economy.
If you don't give a shit about worker conditions and simply want as big a labour supply as possible (and unlimitedly stretchable consumer market) - guess what - the more people there are the better.
