It works as long as you import them young, healthy and somewhat trained in something that is not crime.
On a serious note, this is another prime example on why borders are stupid. Eventually you will perish within your own borders.
Embrace the bordersless future!
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> another prime example on why borders are stupid Might want to start with the free movement of people before you go abolishing borders of all kinds.
- whatever1 2y agoWhat is the point of keeping borders for doing things in a specific way (nation-style), if you do not train people in this but instead you import people who were raised in different ways? What is the point for saying that within this border we are a religion-A nation when we make no new kids who will be trained to follow that religion and we import adults of religion-B? Same goes for every institutional value that a nation upholds and makes it different to the rest.
- Rinzler89 2y agoKeeping borders today is for defense, legal and tax reasons, not to define what culture lives inside of it.
- whatever1 2y agoEnforcement of law is impossible if the vast majority of the citizens are not aligned with its core values. What are you gonna do? Assign a policeman and a jail for each person within your border? The one thing that borders indeed do well is concentration of scarce resources. But again if you lose the majority of bodies who would die for this, then the border is worthless.
- Rinzler89 2y ago>Enforcement of law is impossible if the vast majority of the citizens are not aligned with its core values. In which developed western country is that? And people can live in places even if they're not aligned with core values but because they get monetarily compensated well enough to make it a viable compromise. Money can be worth more than values when you don't have it, since you can't pay rent and food with cultural values but you can with USD.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Enforcement of law is impossible if the vast majority of the citizens are not aligned with its core values Wait, in a borderless world are you proposing anarchy? Also, the EU has a variety of values and laws that work with free movement. To be clear, I don’t think a borderless world can work. But I’m open to being convinced it’s at least a distant possibility.
- whatever1 2y agoNo the laws will be whatever eventually will be shaped by the majority / more vocal / powerful part of the population. The same way that every state writes laws. It just does not make sense to have laws in a jurisdiction that are not aligned with the views of the habitants. It's like passing an anti drug law in Medellin. Good luck enforcing it to the cartels of the neighborhood.
