No, people don’t just “move across borders if they need to”. This is what militaries are for, to enforce sovereignty. Saying that is impossible is undermining the notion of statehood.
- mrkurt 5y agoThere are 11 million people in the US who "moved across borders when they needed to". Is there a country people want to migrate to that successfully keeps them out?
- flyinglizard 5y agoThis is a fraction of the actual population which would happily move to the US but is kept away by immigration controls. 11 million on a population of 330 million is 3%.
- mrkurt 5y agoAre you saying it's impossible to keep 3% of the people out?
- flyinglizard 5y agoIt’s possible, just not worth the effort.
- indodima 5y agoYou think the whole population of Mex wants to "happily move" into gringolandia? Naive and arrogant at the same time.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoI mean there are people from all around the world who would like to move to the U.S, I guess because their situations in their home countries suck enough to warrant it or some cases because they are personally ambitious and the U.S is seen as the place to realize that ambition. Many of them are not allowed to move though because of immigration controls.
- ohCh6zos 5y agoEfforts to keep them out are constantly being sabotaged from within, it's not exactly proof we couldn't.
