Completely open borders allowing unfettered migration around the world are 'inevitable', shadow chancellor John McDonnell claimed today.
During an interview about the migrant crisis facing Europe, which could see more than a million people try to cross its borders this year, Mr McDonnell said the movement of people around the globe would render border controls 'irrelevant'.
The shadow chancellor, a crucial close ally of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said conflict, poverty and climate change would drive mass migration of people around the world.
He told the BBC Sunday Politics: 'The movement of peoples across the globe will mean that borders are almost going to become irrelevant by the end of this century, so we should be preparing for that and explain why people move.
'In our policy making, as politicians, we should be working now to see how we address that because it will mean that we need to look at how we resolve conflicts, how we make the world more equal and also how we tackle climate change. In that way in that way we can deal with the reality of the world which means that people arenât forced to move but there will be movement.'
Pressed on whether he meant totally open borders, he said: 'I think at the end of this century thatâs what will occur. Weâre seeing people ignoring borders already as they fly from Syria.'

Interesting.
If this is inevitable, so is civil war.
