          On the basis that it shouldn’t be illegal in the first place. Borders don’t need to exist. Borders should not exist. People should be free to come and go and work and play anywhere they want, anywhere on the planet.

          Far better to bloom where you’re planted, in my humble opinion.

          Easy to think that when you come from a place that has a pretty high quality of living. I seriously doubt you’d have that opinion if you were from some place like Somalia or even Mexico.

              If only people had friends, meaningful occupations, local amenities they enjoyed.

              Something that would cause them to be invested in the wellbeing of the community, town, neighbourhood they had chosen to live in.

              If only there was some way for the other people who lived somewhere to think about the future of their homes and community.

              Shame capitalism inventivises against all that in favour of profits and convenience. 🤷🏽

              First off, shitty analogy for equating paying taxes.

              Second, if everyone is treated like a citizen no matter how they come to live in a place, then why wouldn’t they pay taxes the same way I and most everyone else does; by having it automatically deducted from our pay before we even get the check? The only reason illegal immigrants don’t contribute this way is because the system prevents it. And the system only prevents it so that racists have an excuse as to why certain groups of people should be excluded from things without straight up saying it’s because they don’t want to see people that aren’t carbon copies of themselves.
