Yes, and abolish all national borders

People should be allowed to better their life for them
And their family. That’s why they should be allowed.

There should be national borders that people are not allowed to cross unless they have citizenship in the United States.

I believe if we abolish borders unwanted immigrants will come in and carry an abundance of crime and issues with them.

Our country isn't open to illegal immigrants, so they shouldn't be allowed into our country unless the have a green card and have legally gotten into our country rather than illegally crossing our borders.

there is a reason they are fleeing their countries, its because they are **** holes and they aren't willing to fight to make their countries better, so if they all come over here then the same will happen over time.

As anyone with the slightest ounce of common sense would say, "A Nation Without Borders Will Cease to be a Nation." Our nation is already being used as a sort of "piggy bank" for the rest of the world, especially down south. If we abolish these borders, we leave our major cities vulnerable to being flooded by migrants, no longer "illegal" and subject to criminal prosecution due to the lack of borders. Then it's a lose-lose situation. Allocating taxpayer money towards their care will further raise our deficit, but not investing in them will result in drastically increased crime, forcing urban residents out. There is no racism here, it is a matter of logical reasoning and concern for the well being of both Americans and immigrants.

There are too many crazy people who want to do harm to America. We need to secure our borders and improve the process of becoming a citizen.

Our country isn't open to illegal immigrants, so they shouldn't be allowed into our country unless the have a green card and have legally gotten into our country rather than illegally crossing our borders.

I think we should keep the walls. We are letting a lot of immigrants into our country that has raised crime rates and have caused other important issues to our country.

It would only be sustainable if we got rid of every governmental program that acts as a “safety net” (ex: welfare, public healthcare, etc…) If we had no governmental programs than completely open immigration would be feasible. However, I do believe that having some sort of legal immigration that allows people from other parts of the world to become full fledged citizens is a necessity, and we cannot extend our constitutional rights to anyone who crosses our border (ex: the right to vote).

We need a way to keep illegal immigrants out and all the drugs they bring with them, our military forces aren’t strong enough to handle all of them.

When debating the position of abolishing national borders and embracing open immigration, several significant counterarguments arise. These concerns typically revolve around national sovereignty, economic stability, social cohesion, and security.
1. National sovereignty and self-determination
A fundamental challenge to open borders stems from the concept of national sovereignty, the idea that a nation has the right to govern itself and determine its own laws, including who can enter and reside within its territory.
Abolishing borders would effectively mean relinquishing this sovereignty and…  Read more the ability of a nation to choose its political, economic, and social systems independently.
2. Economic impacts and social welfare
Open borders could lead to a rapid influx of individuals, particularly from poorer to richer nations, potentially straining social safety nets and infrastructure in receiving countries.
Some argue that a large-scale immigration influx could depress wages for low-skilled domestic workers due to increased competition, though economists note that the impact may be small and temporary, with overall economic benefits, according to the Oxford Academic.
Others argue that allowing everyone to access social benefits and services might overwhelm the system and lead to a "race to the bottom" where benefits are significantly reduced or eliminated.
3. Social and cultural cohesion
Concerns exist that large and rapid demographic shifts resulting from open borders could undermine a nation's cultural identity and social cohesion, potentially leading to increased tensions and difficulties with integration.
Open borders could be viewed as a threat to national cultural heritage and the ability of a population to maintain cultural continuity over time, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
4. National security
One argument against open borders focuses on potential security risks, including increased difficulty in controlling the entry of individuals who may pose a threat, such as criminals or terrorists.
Abolishing borders could be seen as weakening a nation's capacity to safeguard its citizens and maintain law and order within its territory.
It's important to note that these are arguments against the position of abolishing national borders, and the complexity of immigration requires a holistic and nuanced discussion that acknowledges both the potential benefits and drawbacks of open borders and unrestricted immigration.

Trumps border has made this country way more safe. It has stopped multiple illegal immigrants from coming in and has stopped many criminals and other horrible people from coming in and ruining this great country. Biden completely ruined that when he became president and absolutely destroyed this country

National borders, especially Trump's south border have helped drastically reduce drug import, human trafficking rates, and crime within our country.

Countries are more than just “economic zones” as the post-war consensus would have you believe. People have their own culture, religion, customs history and philosophy and letting in anyone and everyone ruins that.

Look, if we do that, we are letting in criminals who will take away jobs, and they should be coming legally. Without borders we would be done for as invasions could occur. basic common sense. Just follow the law

Criminal Cartels, Murderers, and Rapists would be let into this country and commit more crimes. Simple as that.

Foreigners who come to your land will eventually rule it, this has been a historical lesson ever since the Romans.

The American identity must be maintained through the white, originally European culture. All who do not conform to our culture should be separated from us. Our border keeps those who are dangerous and are not of our race away from us.

Borders protect people on both sides. It serves to discourage people from trying and it helps protect Americans that live along the boarder. It is unrealistic to think such a large area can be properly monitored.

No, we need borders to protect the foundation of this country, without borders or protection the risk of terrorist attacks increases.

I think that’s stupid if we don’t have a border we are not a country there has got to be sections cut off from another country otherwise what separates ours from theirs

without national borders our country lacks protection and crime rate would increase, because of the lack of borders for a nation it would cause no means for separate countries, and unwanted or harmful people could enter our country at any time and add to the rate of homelessness for the recognized citizens.

South Africa, where they chant "kill the white farmer" and then do so.

They have their country, and our National Sovereignty cannot be surrendered to the whims of foreigners.

Criminals, mentally ill, potential terrorists and other unwanted or harmful people could enter in the country and ruin the life of its citizens.

What do we do when we can not provide what they need and we become over populated, America already have so many homeless

We need borders so we don't have constant territory disputes and also so wee can keep peace and illegal immigrats out

We should not abolish borders because it would not be fair to those who work so hard to legally get into this wonderful country.

The Mexicans weren't here when we were fighting the redcoats, so why should we open our borders and let them take in the benefits of being an american citizen.

Immigrants take people's jobs, usually add to the homeless population, and usually become drug addicts or are arrested or killed.

If you abolish borders then you must also abolish security laws, taxes, socialism and anything that would separate differing opinions and cultures.

No. The security of the national borders is paramount to the safety and welfare of all citizens, especially if there are conflicting ethnicities, languages, cultures, and other aspects such as crime waves by cartels.

borders represent separations of cultural and good/bad ideas and destroying borders would destroy individual culture

If we were to abolish all national borders, then this would make the United States of America more susceptible to sleeper agents and also cartel members as well.

dont abolish national borders because then the illegals will have a way to get in our country and destroy it

Immigrants take people's jobs, usually add to the homeless population, and usually become drug addicts or are arrested or killed.

I dont believe it should be abolished, but strongly monitored and specifically gone through if you plan to come into the state.

No don't abolish all borders position because we need to keep immigrants out of our county like poland

Abolish national borders, but also abolish all forms of social welfare programs along with it. If you decide to move to another country you should be propared to support yourself and your family, without relying on socials programs paid for with tax dollars.

Abolishing national boarders would increase the introduction of crime into the country. Everybody who comes into this country should do it legally regardless.

Eliminating all national borders would pretty much mean there's no reason for separation of countries at all

Everyone needs to pay taxes and healthcare, if all borders are open the ones paying will be paying for everyone.

they are illegal for a reason. if i go to another country, i have to go through the proper procedures. everyone else should as well

Abolishing national borders would be nice for cultural exchange but would create issues where there are people unaccounted for on either side of the border and create problems for them.
