If I cannot enter Mexico without a passport, or get a job in Germany without a work Visa, why should we? This is where I can see a reevaluation of NAFTA and a deep diplomatic approach with the whole of Latin America could enliven actual progressive change.

I don’t understand when people who are interested in liberation of working class also disregard the class character of the state and corresponding militarism, carceral system of borders. it’s just another mechanism for elites to weaponize against workers of the world.

It is precisely the codification of differential status that lead to labor abuses, exploitation, low wages, not immigration in and of itself. People will not speak up for fear & mgmt class benefits. The model you hate benefits from “strong borders” coupled with unbridled trade.

Is it a legitimate function of the federal government to force people to follow it's laws? Only to a point, and that point depends on how serious the threat is. Cops can't shoot a person to prevent them from littering, nor do we need additional agencies to prevent it.
