“Borders are the worst invention ever made by politicians.” Those were the words of Jean-Claude Juncker...
Let me just wander in off the street into Jean-Claude’s house, help myself to a sandwich from the fridge and see what he has to say. I’m just an undocumented house guest
Said by every tyrant who wanted to rule the world, frustrated by those stupid, selfish people who didn't want to be ruled by said tyrant!

Borders are to countries as walls are to houses. The have a purpose: To keep people from stealing your stuff................
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality.Junckers ideological source.
Manifesto, Ch. 2
Can we do away with laws while we are at it. This is 2016 not 1982!
I didn't read the article: I never let that stop me from taking a stab.
I think you might have it backwards. Jean-Claude probably wasn't thinking of anarchy. He was probably thinking of a one-world govt. (like the UN or a greatly expanded EU) so we wouldn't have these messy and contradictory local ordinances all over the place.
People live happier with people with the same language and culture. Borders are to keep different people out. This is as it has been as long as there has been civilization.
The soros/pope/one world/esperanto crowd wants no borders, with anyone able to come and go freely, with all the rights and privileges of anyone else no matter where he goes.
Obviously this means that the whole world would flock to the USA and to Europe (already doing it) and leave behind their home hellholes to rot. Unfortunately, this means bringing the rot to the USA and to Europe. (as is already happening).
Borders aren't an invention of politicians.
They sure aren’t.
Not really.
The ranting of the fool and the mad should be quickly discarded.
The alternative to borders is tribalism. We see how America has ceased enforcing its borders, and subsequently we see the chaos and micro-wars of tribalism.
I don’t think these guys fully grasp why walled cities and fortresses were needed in the first place. They clearly don’t understand the heart of man, or they are utopians.
Whenever that country is mentioned, I think of “The Mouse that Roared”.
Borders aren’t an invention of politicians.
That’s always been their purpose. And this experiment with no borders exposes the wisdom of that.
A corollary to that, which Mexicans should think about, is this. If there is no border between Mexico and and the US, why can’t the US tax wealthy Mexicans in Mexico?
“...the 11 million illegal immigrants in this country...”
I stopped reading right there. Anyone who’s still buying that liberal Democrat propaganda isn’t worth wasting my time listening to.
[ The alternative to borders is tribalism. We see how America has ceased enforcing its borders, and subsequently we see the chaos and micro-wars of tribalism. ]
Yes, precisely.
We end up with a mish-mash of tribes that eventually tear the country apart when these micro-tribes start joining together ( La-Raza, BLM, Islamic Groups, etc...)
The funny thing is the Multiculturalists think that removing borders will encourage “Multiculturalism” when in fact it will destroy it as the tribes churn against each other and people are either killed or forced to conform to the whims of the dominant tribe in the area. If you play out the idealized world of multiculturalism over a many hundred year period you either end up with a grey goo of one global culture, or the most virulent culture takes hold...
If a country really wants to encourage ACTUAL cultural exchange you only have to increase TOURISM and not immigration.
Hitler didn’t care for borders, neither.
