It's xenophobic when Americans have any concern related to illegal immigration.
It's justified protest against gentrification when people in other countries riot and demand that Americans (who entered legally) leave.
Makes sense.

Open the border and let economics rule instead of politics. Respect private property and let humans live where they want
What does open mean? What does respect private property mean? These are fundamental issues that not all cultures agree on, hence the borders. It's reasonable to at least know who is coming into a country if one wants to maintain values like property rights. Economics doesn't solve everything. But I do think politics/government and economics should be totally separate.
Anyone who isn't a known criminal or threat who wants to assimilate and provide for themselves should absolutely be free to enter the US.
Absolutely fucking not.
Particularly not as long as “magic dirt” gives third worlders illegal citizenship.
No, they should not be allowed in the US.
Not as long as we’re forced to educate their retsrded children that don’t speak English, forced to give them welfare, and forced to give them medical care.
No, they should not be allowed in.
There is no "third world". There is this world and we all have to live in it together. And cooperate. Together. Or kill each other, like Palestine and Israel are doing. Is that the solution?
No one is forcing you to do anything, except the law enforcement that will detain you if you are deemed an " alien". How preposterous
Those are good questions to think about.
Here's a suggestion I still am educating myself on - all restrictions of travel and movement impede economic progress, freedom, and human fulfillment. It creates poverty.
I intend to read Bryan Caplan's books on this to gain a better understanding of how and why.
But I'll tell you - every time I have to apply for a visa to go somewhere I can afford to on our very own Earth, send in fingerprints and facial scans for a passport or visa, my Soul sees that this is the very crux of the Matrix.
Borders and identities are the foundations that lead to war and pointless destruction.
Palestine and Israel. Tens of thousands dead. World in outrage. Protests worldwide. Death, mass destruction, suffering, children amputees, millions starving.
Thailand and Cambodia. The dumbest border war ever. Hundreds of thousands displaced. Soldiers died. Literally pointless.
Russia and Ukraine. Ad infinitum
Humanity has to wake up.
Fuck you pajeet.
We don’t want you shit worshipers anywhere near our country.
This is nostr, and I'm here. Good luck getting rid of me.
Third worlders explaining why America should be open and free to them.
A proper country would have turrets at the gates and about 100x more ICE.
Oof, Germany did that and it turned into a total shitshow within months and toppled the government.
Respect for private property (including bodily integrity) comes from only letting people onto the territory, that have been raised to protect it. Otherwise, you end up with more internal borders, like gated communities and village militias.
if every man's house is his castle we don't need no stinkin government or national borders. nation originally meant a usually related collection of families. in some regions this is still how territory is protected, and it's the natural law of human society.
governments are an imposition by psychopaths.
first, you abolish welfare and nobody's coming for that anymore
second, you don't interfere with people protecting their own property, and you don't need police or military
third, you have an open market in adjudication services to deal with cases of conflicts of claims.
government does all these things as a monopoly, and its product is destruction of civility.
also, who cares if the border is people's fucking property boundaries. those should be borders in any case, and are not because of government.
can you shoot a burglar trying to break into your house in germany?
and why not? they crossed a border without permission.
the government do not have a lawful right to claim jurisdiction over my property, they have no lawful rights at all, they are a fiction that people believe in. right now in most of the world governments are actively attacking the people within their "jurisdiction" and are destroying the fabric of society. along with all the activist NGOs and judges who are protecting the "rights" of the plunderers and marauding hordes of psychotic loons.
I agree. Governments have no authority whatsoever. Government is a cult. Countries are also cults. Identical to religion or any other form of cult. Government is fabricated, imagined authority due to deep brainwashing, sourced from the most psychopathic individuals that think they can control humanity.
Migrants build a country. Every human is a source of power and wealth. We are wealth generators. Most people who want to migrate to a different "country" (part of the world) just want a better life. Most are more than willing to work - if the system in place would just let them, instead of treating them like criminals. These people could contribute their energy and build your community that you so treasure. That gated community needs people willing to maintain it for you? Or do you just prefer to pay more for labor by restricting the number of people participating in that community.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
And criminals - they exist in every community, all across the globe. We deal with those like any other. Migrants are not criminals. They are a resource.
