OP.
Lemme answer you this way...
Say, you're a farmer, cultivating rice and tomatoes ..
But you're not making profit due to the snuggling of rice and tomatoes from other countries.
Your products were less patronize. Meanwhile this is the only means and way for you to live...

Few years later government closed the borders and snuggling of rice and tomatoes are no more...

People now patronize your farm products.

As a farmer, what do you stand to gain?

Once you've answered the above question, then what do you stand to gain if the government opens the borders
