I was in Spain several years ago. I had a day to kill before my flight, so was driving around just sightseeing. Suddenly, I’m in Portugal. As an American, I was a little freaked out to be in a different country without any warning.
There were probably warnings, I just couldn’t read them. But no border patrol, no stops, just Spain…then Portugal.
If we open the borders, that shuts off most of the reasons people have to hide. It opens up cooperation. People won’t be afraid to ask for help if they’re the victim of crime. People are more likely to become a part of the community. Or, they come across the border to work, then go back daily, weekly, whatever.
Yes, there will still be crime. There always is. I think we criminalize the wrong things.
Quota? Why?
