The climate refugees are a reason to bring the concept of open borders again into discussion.

I know, it is complicated. The current administrative systems in place don't allow large influxes of refugees (there is not enpugh money, they say), and, much worse, societies of the the rich countries are moving entirely in the wrong direction with the current wave of racism.
It hurts to become aware that it won't be possible to maintain the actual levels of material wealth (anyway, I don't see so many happy faces around me...). To me it seems that this is one of the large drivers behind the current denial and racist response.

Now, I am not sure how to bring the idea of abolishing borders back on the table. The concept had some notable support some 10 years ago, but currently I see little possibilities for societal majorities (even the moderate political parties promote racist immigration policies). Although I hope that I am too pessimistic... Any ideas?

I think, the least we can do is to fight the militarization of immigration control. With every million spent in the 'security' industry, their lobby groups and influence on society are strenghtened. When there is business in racism, it becomes only worse.

No outro dia apanhei um daqueles programas #BorderControl, sobre o controlo nas fronteiras. Eu odeio o formato, mas o meu gajo adora ver.

Então aquele era no Canadá, no mesmo episódio uma estudante japonesa tinha que voltar para o Japão porque por distração deixara o visto expirar e apesar de ter aulas no dia seguinte azar. Um grego que vinha visitar a família levantou suspeitas de ir trabalhar clandestinamente e viu autorização de permanência reduzida a 10 dias.

"A secret Home Office policy to detain people with the right to live in the UK at air and seaports has been found to be unlawful in the high court.

The policy applied to those with unpaid NHS debts and was only uncovered through evidence gathered from charities and lawyers fighting the cases of two mothers who were repeatedly detained."

Dutch border force guilty of ethnic profiling at border checks, appeals court rules.

“Ethnic profiling can never be justified, their lawyer said in his plea [..]. ‘It is not about the intention, but about the impact.’”

Can’t imagine many teachers losing an arm whilst travelling to Europe by train.

Is this the best you can do?
