Borders are imaginary as laws; doesn't mean they don't have a purpose.

  Even more so, laws apply within borders. In a world with no borders which laws apply?

    The imaginary thing was just an aside, my point was that rule of law and sovereignty can remain (and should, IMO) even with open borders in the immigration sense. I view 'countries' as experiments in human self-organization -- the more the merrier up to a point. European nations are able to retain both language and national identity in spite of freedom of movement.

      The EU leadership seems to have a problem with that, and is actively working against nations having a national identity, spending tax money to do this. And this is why open borders are becoming increasingly unpopular in Europe.

  All laws of a country are imaginary by definition. What you meant is borders are imaginary lines.
