I've sometimes wondered about this. What is the point of having borders? Except for physical borders, mountain ranges etc. they only exist because man invented them. If they were removed it wouldn't make scrap of difference to anyone in the long run. |

If the US opened its borders to everyone. There would be no one left in the third world countries. The US would not be able to handle the influx of poor and indigent. We have a hard enough time taking care of the illegals that come here now. An open border would make the job so much worse. |

then it would also have to be your country without barriers....it has to work both ways or asking for it is not realistic. |

It already is. The vast numbers of illegals have become a burden on our country. |

think of it. a world free for us all. americans would be able to move freely and take whatever good resources they found anywhere in the world. just walk down south and take all the oil in mexico and venezuela, all the cocaine in colombia, all the prime beef in argentina and the british would not need to send troops 15,000 miles away to defend a frigid barren chunk of land called falkland islands; the chinese would work our farms for a pitance, al-qaeda would have no afghanistan to use as a launch pad for attacking america because there would be no america to hate!!!. |

There are reasons we have laws, the laws protect our citizens. We can't have MILLIONS of people coming in every year putting a huge strain on our economy. There are proper channels to get here, and it seems that most nations other than most of Latin America goes through those channels. As for them decending on our country? They are. I will never for the life of me understand why illegals come here and leave their families behind, just so they can plant and pick crops for $8 an hour, live in a one bedroom apartment with 9 other crop pickers, and send their money back to Mexico. Good Lord, if they did it the right way they could come in and actually own the farm they are planting.
And to mark_gg_daniels, I am not a racist. I know where my family came from, and sure enough I am not a decendant of any native americans. But guess what? My family came here LEGALLY. I have NO problem with immigration, it is illegal immigration that I have a problem with. When people come illegally they are breaking the law, instead of putting them in prison we should put them in the military so THEY can die for the country that they are invading. |

If it is so good to have open borders, Do you leave your doors unlocked and a OPEN sign flashing on your house. People have been stealing for years so it's got to be OK. |

Think realistically, did the DSS exist since the dawn of time? No, with no International Borders this place would be the No 1 haven for free-loaders, a free meal ticket for life. The system would totally collapse. |

Hmmmm open the borders?
The ever so peace loving illegal aliens kill 13 Americans EVERY DAY. If the Americans add in the God fearing wonderful drunk driving illegal aliens that kill 25 Americans EVERY DAY, that comes to about 80,000 plus Americans KILLED on American soil since 9/11.
Hmmmm, now who’s the bigger threat to all Americans? Illegal Aliens, or people in Iraq who want their country back?
Why don't we simply use Mexico's policy on illegal aliens? They shoot, rape, and kill their brothers and sisters coming from their south. Nice people these Mexicans are they? |

Open borders is a GREAT idea - if you don't want sovereignity or a unique identity/culture.
It's pretty visible even now (though on a small scale) what would happen if the world became "open borders" - the poor would always leech off the rich, and the rich would always manipulate the poor - screwing over the wages system and economy in general as we know it. Not to mention the diverse cultures we all love and enjoy would all become saturated and diluted to the point where all we'd have left is some base, materalistic world where life is all about just existing. |

Reality is, if you want your homeland compromised, allow illegal immigrants.Its happened in every country in history and soon results in a takeover by the immigrants.So, can I have your home? I want your country, you can have say, Siberia.Or, should we fight to the death about it? Raises serious questions huh? You cant say its good for anyone after examining the historical results. PERIOD |

Actually, after about another 10 million or so illegal immigrants the tax burden would be so high the people making the real $$ (and therefore paying the most taxes) in the US would leave. Shortly after that the government would go bankrupt, social services would cease, total anarchy would ensue, and then maybe the illegals would go somewhere else to leech off another country....
I like the unlocked door and open bank account analogies... very appropriate. |

We in the UK have spent 1000 years building the UK, we have recently all paid social security and taxes some of us for decades into improving the UK and making an organised country.
Before you allow millions of people to come from unsuccessful countries you must ask the indigenous UK people first, after all they built the UK.
IF we had a referendum mass immigration would be rejected by most UK people, this is why we will never get a referendum the multiculturists know they would lose. |

Countries without barriers would cause a problem for a period of time but i believe eventually. The so called prosperous countries would not be able to exploit people from poor countries so we all be batting on the same wicket as per to say. REMEMBER we are only national of any country by birth or by migration. So we have actually done nothing to be so special just because we are living or working in certain country |

good point - thanks.
people always hide behind arguments of 'economy' , 'services' but what their really afraid off is 'dirty disease carrying foregigners'
I always ask anti immigration people this - why do you not say anything about all the immigrants form Australia, USA, France, and other 1st world countries????
Its because they are RACIST through and through, and Im disgusted to share the country with these horrible people. They should all be eviceted out of their hgomes and replaced with poles. That would please me a lot |

well, how about 'removing barriers' to your bank account, (assuming you have one with a balance)
after all, people have been moving money around forever
why shouldnt people be able to just take what they want? |

You're right that's how the world should be. Everyone moving to wherever they wish to live.
However, imagine 300,000 Christians moving into Iran and setting up home. Its not only the USA here that have restrictions.
The trouble is with religion, once again. It has divided continents and blocked a free roaming life upon this world. Governments have become God in telling you where you can live when our creator gave us the land to move freely. |

Imagine- John Lennon. Yeah, maybe someday humans will be ready for the next step in evolution. But until then it is regarded as "Idealistic". I never have understood why that word has a negative connotation. |
