I’m sure there are governments all over the world that look the other way when illegals slip into their country. That’s because either the business elite want cheap labor or the government wants a bunch of dependent voters.

But my point is this. Are borders just imaginary lines on maps which in reality we all have a right to ignore? Do you or I have a right to go to any nation we want without documentation, and not bother to follow the immigration laws of that nation? Do we have international open borders?

No one will answer that question because they understand the ramifications of it. So they have to at least pretend to support some kind of border. But at that point it falls into the “some illegal aliens are more equal than others” category. If millions of white Americans flooded into Haiti to the point that they outnumbered the blacks there and voted them out of power, the very same people who are screaming for us to “tolerate” illegal migration into America would call it genocide.

Border are there for several goods reasons, which is why there is an INTERNATIONAL backlash against the idea of a "borderless world."

I also believe, however, that we should put alot of value on the idea of majoritarianism. Both sides like to use the argument of "population mass" and "will of the people", even though such ideals are antithetical toward ordered Republicanism. Besides, historically, and even in contemporary times, it means absolutely nothing. Alawites are a minority in Syria, Kuwaitis (and, likely, Arabs in general) are a minority in Kuwait and (closer to home) white folk are a minority in New York City, but all of these groups maintain power over these polities with little controversy. Numbers mean nothing when you can't even organize a school board meeting.
