I have already talked about this issue, but I want to highlight it again, perhaps from a different perspective. As we all know this issue gets quite a lot of focus on the mainstream sources nowadays. This is partly due to the immigrant crisis in Europe, the endless Terrorism and other reasons.
So of course if we live in a good society, a peaceful civilized society, wouldn't it make sense to just close the castle gate when "the Mongols are coming"?
I mean we have already perfected the European way of life, we live in a decent society, crime rate is kind of low. But the "Mongols are coming" and they want to pillage everything, and cause harm to us. So it would be absolutely logical to just close the gate and fend off the besiegers and defend the castle against the horde of the invaders....
Well the problem is that there is no gate, and there are no walls. Europe, just the EU is a 4,475,757 km2 entity, with a massive border, mostly water based. So any immigrant can come with a boat on any part, they can parachute in, they can dig under, who knows....
So it's literally impossible to defend such a massive territory from small pockets of immigrants, like 20-30 coming on a boat, but constantly.
There will be no wall dumbasses! You can't build a wall around an entire continent. Well you could but it would be a very stupid idea.
So what is actually a "Closed Border"? Well you can't build a wall around a continent, so it will actually be kind of an an active border instead of a passive one, or in other words it will be based on surveillance and harassment of citizens:
Well of course it means a Police State, what did you thought? It would be like the Great Chinese Wall, heck no. It would be more like Nazi Germany.
Literally it would be like Nazi Germany, with real Concentration Camps for immigrants waiting deportation, but they might put them to forced labor in the meantime or who knows what else worse....
Well first of all there are no "Mongols at the gate". It might be a stupid exaggeration coming from lunatic Right-Wing groups, White-Supremacists, Nationalists and Neo-Nazis.
I mean if I go to any Youtube channel talking about immigration, I only see Neo-Nazis there in the comments of people trying to deny the Holocaust and calling for a 2nd Holocaust.
So I am personally more worried about lunatic Neo-Nazis than immigrants.
Ok but what about the Terrorism? Well, it's not like the Neo-Nazis are not Terrorists as well:
So the Neo-Nazis are nothing better than the Jihadists, in fact they quite actually might be the same scourge, after all we should not forget how much Hitler was allied with Jihadists as well:
So it looks like this violence is more political than anything else. I mean Europeans in general are peaceful, it's the foreigners that are coming in are the violent people. Not all of them, but mostly those that come from wartorn areas.
So maybe the solution is to actually fix the Middle East, the rough parts of Africa, the extreme poverty, who knows what makes these people think the way they do. I mean certainly the constant foreign interventions are not helping...
And then you have welfare immigrants that just come for the free stuff. Well that is not very productive for the people that actually get their money stolen from them.
So whatever the solution is, it's not the Closing of the Border and hence definitely not a Nazi Police State monitoring innocent citizens. It's actually the other problems that have to be fixed, so we can get around this issue entirely.
