What would happen if ALL countries's borders were taken away tomorrow?

[gabmen]

I think it would be chaos. It would need years for people to learn how to adapt and respect other people's culture so most likely territorial wars would rage everywhere. It would be nice to think about how we can actually live without borders and live as one country but with how things are today, even if a lot of people are actually good enough to respect others, i think it would not be as beneficial as we would want it to be

Without boundaries life is not possible. Too many things that divides people. This and territorial claims of the mentality and the economic model and religious barriers. And much more. To live without borders is a utopia.

Globalization is draining best people which could lead their nations to progress, but that also starting to change as they return...

And that idiot Turnbull is doing his best to import as many Muslims as possible. I am glad that Trump gave him a mouthful, and refused to give refugee status to any of the immigrants who ended up in Australia.

One word chaos

It would be a bit like playing chess without knowing how to play it.

Opening borders would be just a temporary thing. If the governments would come to such agreement it wouldn't be long before they started isolating themselves again. Just watch what is happening in Europe now. When the wave of refugee came many countries set up temporary blockades and border control posts. We can't have open borders due to religious and financial differences in the world.

Opening borders can potentially help but also potentially be dangerous for country. That's why we need laws and restrictions to prevent this. And by restriction, the right kind not totally flushing out immigrants. They still help out with the economy as long as they are given the right treatment.

How can be the illegal immigrants be of any help to the economy? They don't pay any taxes, and they create extreme strain on the welfare budget. On top of that they will make the native workers jobless.

I think it will be a chaos if you taken away the border, everyone will claimed the territory and everyone will try to claimed the country with a good natural source, there will be more smuggler and criminal rate will increase, it is a bad idea to take away border

Illegal migrants do not bring any benefit to the state, but legal can be helpful. In any country there are global projects on building which can be a lot to save through the use of migrant labor.Of course, without granting them citizenship.

This is not practical in the United States, as the constitution allows birthright citizenship, even to children born to illegal immigrants. There should be an amendment to limit citizenship only to legal residents.

Most countries have open borders where people can visit simpler than most other countries. These are the ones where it allows business exchange or networking.

International movements are already starting to pop up shifting boundaries by connecting infastructure. In the not too distant future i'm starting to observe this happening slowly, yet steadily.

People are crossing those undefended borders with ease.
It is not destroying those countries but it is still illegal because they can be carrying anything in with them.
