Indeed. Completely understandable to establish borders to keep certain people out who might mean you harm or who might disrupt the peace of your community. Unfortunately you also need infrastructure to enforce those borders, such as documentation and an enforcement agency. But it’s worth it in order to keep your community safe.

Lots of black people and Hispanics voted for him, and i don’t think they did so because they were racist. They had other reasons.

You think 40 percent of Americans voted for trump because they are racist?

No that’s my more thoughtful cousin. I think the simplest solution is to burn it down.

Safe spaces are a micro border, a way for people to separate themselves from other people for their mental health. Should they be allowed to do so and does that have any relevance to the larger discussion about borders? I think it does. I think people instinctively want borders to protect themselves from others who might mean them harm. It’s natural and inherent to humans. Just curious what you thought, given your stated stance on borders.

How do you feel about safe spaces

I’ve heard crazier things on lemmy, but I think it’s sarcasm in this case.

If you have any requirement for entry then it’s not really an open border and you need some kind of enforcement to enforce those requirements.

Not only that, but a legal obligation.
