Answer 1

That's what Garry Davis said. See: http://www.garrydavis.org/

Answer 2

Not me. There are reasons for nations and borders, not the least of which are languages and economies. Look at the EU. There is a common currency but the languages and economies are different. When decisions must be made, each country argues for its own interests, as they should. As an American, i resent the idea that other nations/cultures are equal. How can you suggest that nations which allow FGM, for example, are the same as those which outlaw it?

Answer 3

This question really doesn't deserve a response but I can't control myself.
It's like this - try to follow along: there are laws. The laws were enacted by people who were elected by the citizens to enact these laws. Assuming you're a citizen of the U.S., you might have voted for one of these lawmakers. If you vote, vote for someone who will amend the immigration laws. If you don't vote, shut up because you're not part of the solution - you're part of the problem.
Your idealistic and ignorant slant on the world does not account for the very reasons that borders and laws were created.

Answer 4

but we are not all citizens of the world that expect other citizens to support them while they have an anchor baby every 9 months & 1 hour... then whine..."I only came to work" or demand... "I want my rights" or protest by desecrating our flag or knowingly bringing third world diseases to our country or steal identities...
You are the one that needs to learn...our government is using middle-class Americans tax dollars against us - actually making us pay the mexicans to take our country! Wake up & smell the coffee....

Answer 5

Then who will pay for the roads,schools,hospitals, the bridges the infrastructures of the world ? You live in a dream world of your own design.
I like borders I like my country and I love my people.I don't want to become one world.That's a hippy point of view and I our grew that years ago.I love the USA and I want stronger borders and I want all illegal aliens to go back to their own country's.
I disagree vehemently.SECURE OUR BORDERS .
The selfish people are the people that take and take and offer nothing in return but flowery lip service.I live in the real world.

Answer 6

Never. The only way to solve this stupid problem would be world peace or 1 single united country or kingdom. That probably wont happen ever or until along time. This problem is far from being fixed.

Answer 7

The problem with that is that "someone" will still want to rule and live by those rules, as they say only the strong survive, well what about the poor people that cannot or will not defend themselves. Someone will still want to be in charge.

Answer 8

BS. I like the idea of sovereign borders. Why on earth would I agree to having my front door removed and allow unrestricted access to my home? That's ridiculous. In general, people are not that trustworthy to me. Not until I get to know someone do they have access to my home. And even then, not unsupervised.

Answer 9

You ask a question, then answer your own question in remarks.
I hope no one with your ideas is ever elected to public office, we would be overran by illegal immigrants from all over the world.

Answer 10

We all own (or rent) houses TOO, but does that give someone ELSE the right to enter those houses WITHOUT our permission,and take things that DO NOT belong to them????

Answer 11

yeah..you're right...let's open our borders to everyone so we can become a 3rd world nation too. It's so reassuring to see that our schools are producing such profound thinkers such as yourself!
