For liberals, the question is never whether borders should be completely open or closed; a society open to all would have no rights worth protecting, while a society closed to all would have no rights worth emulating.

对于自由主义者来说，问题永远不在于边界是否应该完全被打开或关闭的问题；一个对所有人都开放的社会不会有值得保护的权利，而一个对所有人都关闭的社会不会有值得仿效的权利。

Unfortunately, only the first part of this agreement was realized (though not completely), while the second part still awaits fulfillment.

然而不幸的是，该条约仅仅实现了第一部分（虽然不是完全实现），而第二部分则一直有待完成。
