“Open borders” is a not a hill to die on if you want humane borders. Recognize universal human right to global mobility aspirationally. Block movement by justified exception, permit by default. Crossing a border is not a crime. “Presumed gang-member rapist” is an insane axiom.

You have to be adrift in the oceans today to have legitimacy for your mere existence without paperwork. The only “public” spaces for being simply human are oceanic. Much as I like the aquatic ape hypothesis, that’s not an ideal condition.
