I read an article about an Illinois woman who enslaved 33 illegal immigrants. She kept them living in her basement, and got them jobs for a company, and
she took all their wages & gave them something like a handful of change every "payday."

It said she was charging them as much as $18,000 per person for her
assistance in keeping them safe from ICE and/or deportation.

Is this how we want to treat our "immigrants?" (notice how I omitted the word "illegal" because that word is not pc.)

I suppose by legalizing illegal immigration, we can stop that type of abuse, but that could only lead to other even worse problems.

Congresswoman AOC is in favor of free-range humans; no wall, just walk or
drive across national borders freely without the need for a passport.
Wouldn't that be a great thing for those of us who like to get high? If our heroin is too expensive in Texas, we could just drive down to Old El Paso &
get an awesome discount.

What can going borderless do for our sex industry? Well, let's not get too excited just yet, but surely women who are enslaved by traffickers are going
to have great prices too. Forget about humanity, just focus on things that
help get people elected.

What would a Kamala Harris campaign ad look like? She's in favor of
both going borderless and prostitution. For her ad, she needs young latino women, in provocative clothing, forming a large group, crossing from sand tierra to grass. Throw in some gangsta rap, and you've got yourself one hell
of an ad to appeal to many groups all at once.

That's what we have in the EU between the 26 Schengen countries ... there's no increase in drug trafficking, cross-border prostitution, illegal trades.

I can drive from the north of Finland to Gibraltar, cross 7 or 8 countries/borders without having to show any documentation and only needing to stop to refuel, pee, shit, drink, eat.

That's 4501km. Slightly more than NewYork to LA.

What prevents you from doing that now? I reckon anyone may own a passport and unless there's an arresst warrant for you, you probably are free to leave your country and come back anytime you want. Or do you need to apply for a depature permit?
Moreover, they could just go to California for some mariuana. Are there border controls at the Californian border? I think there's also one state where individuals can legally own machine guns, do they have border controls? What about driving licenses? I think the legal age varies from state to state, are there controls to prevent driving without a license?

On the other hand, your international airports do have border controls, however, Mohammed Atta managed to get from Madrid to Miami twice without the neccessary documents.

I don't know what you're trying to say. You do not enter the UK, because Gibraltar is not part of the UK, however it is part of the EU due to the UK's contract and thus will be leaving along with the UK. If you don't have to show your ID now, you surely will have to after the hard Brexit on April the 12th - or whenever the EU decides that we've had enough of what seems to be the longest Monty Python sketch ever.

He most probably was referring the the human development index of Mexico (0.774 in 2017) being lower than those of Romania (0.811) and Bulgaria (0.813). However, Norway (0.953) does also have a higher index than the USA (0.924).

Norway - Romania = 0.142
USA - Mexico = 0.150

But that's the result of opering the border in 2014! In 2013 the numbers were different:
Romania 0.785
Bulgaria 0.777
Norway 0.944

Norway - Bulgaria = 0.167

That's a bigger difference than USA - Mexico is now, yet anyone from Bulgaria is free to live and work in Norway.

From news reports I conclude that more drugs are entering than before, but not from within ... they enter via seaports and commercial transport (just as in the USA).... My son works at a shipping company and he says that whenever they get a shipment of bananas from South America, they never know what will be at the bottom of the containers...

I would also guess that the EU/Schengen area does not really contain any third-world countries. The countries we are connected to by land, the

Canada will not like to hear that.

While technically you are correct, it is also a fact that the only other hard border you have with a country is Mexico, and Mexico is not a 3rd world country.

For a country to join the EU there are piles and piles of requirements, and the EU will help aspiring countries to reach the same levels ... the EU will even pay for it (meaning I pay for it).

It will be more avantageous and less costly to help your southern neighbour than to build a wall, US economy would boom. As demonstrated by the EU where when you can get countries to trade with eachother, it means prosperity and peace. Seeking dominance will destroy that goal.

That's close to 18 years ago already.

1) Having a visa or not is irrelevant in the USA to obtain a driver's license as the USA has reciprocal agreements with a lot of countries the first 90 days of your stay you can use your national license. If you stay longer you just go the bureau, produce your national-drivers license which needs to be current and you will automatically be eligible for one of that state... which then again opens up Pandora's box as you need your driver's license for a host of other things. It's the same thing for Americans staying here more than 90 days.

2) When wanting to go to the US you now have to pass the ESTA-procedure where you electronically have to apply for permission to be allowed to travel to the USA. Costs $14 for 2 years. No ESTA? No entry. This dates from after 9/11 too.

3) Customs now are on a pre-check basis. Because of the computers DHS knows I frequently pass the border at an airport and I am pre-cleared. There are no customs formalities anymore. Weird ... really ... but handy.

A municipality can become a state.

Who is to say how many states the USA can, or cannot, have?

There is no number specified in the US Constitution.

Maybe the USA should simply be one big state.

no choice but to secede from itself.
