Maybe we should stop fucking up their coutries, bombing Iraq, killing and displacing Afganis, supporting the worst dictators as long as they do the economic interests of the West, furthermore we should allow asylum seekers to wok when they come here - and we should deport all racists.

cooperatively fight to allow true applicants to come in more easily & raise wages/conditions for low paid workers in jobs here so workers from eastern europe & other area don't have to fly back & forth every few months with their families.
Electronic lie detectors that analysis stress can be used on assessments with other techniques.
Even in a Anarchist world dont there do need to be borders to control disease outbreaks & weapons?
As far as racists & the rich, they need deconditioning using social techniques & if that doesnt work in the violent cases, isolation

What you mean? Use lie detectors on people escaping war torture and persection? Electronic lie detectors are not used anywhere because they are know to be not working.
What is the difference between someone escaping war and someone escaping starvation? There is not such a thing like deserving and not deserving migrants. And no, in an Anarchist society there would not be borders.
Finally, what is the wisdom of taking the first stupid comment out and leave this one?
