    I have never once heard and have not been able to imagine an explanation of how not having borders could possibly work.

      A example that’s not borderlessness, but still interesting, was the Behind the Bastards episode on Harlan Crow which talked about how there was seasonal migration of people from Mexico into the US during peak agricultural seasons. They would return to Mexico in the winter, but the introduction of a hard border incentivized people to remain in the US.

      It seems the hardening the border lead to the exact thing Harlan Crow and the other racist trash were trying to fight, increased immigration.

      Simple. In the past there is no “border”. You are someone from Frankfurt who came to Paris to set up business and there was no question asked.
