Lets say it was true that Biden was intentionally allowing in illegals because that is part of the WEF/elites global agenda? Would that be concerning?
The fall and rise of global borders
"The world is becoming more global. More than ever people are proactively deciding where to live, where to study, where to work. Sometimes it’s out of necessity, sometimes it’s out of choice. But the opening up of the world thanks to technology and other factors like simpler regulation means we don’t need to stay within the borders of the country in which we were born. It’s even possible to be an
e-Resident of a country.
Being a ‘global citizen’ is no longer reserved for the global elite. Thanks to the democratising power of technology, it’s not a trend determined by privilege or even age but by attitude. Technology gives us a level of global interconnectedness that we’ve never before experienced. If we couple that physical/virtual interconnectedness with an attitude of openness, then the world becomes both limitless and a lot smaller.
However, this macro-trend seems to be experiencing a few setbacks at the moment. There is increased rhetoric in parts of the world about the need for borders and walls. The voices in favour of borders that are heard at the moment come from a position of fear, perhaps of change or the unknown. In some cases these voices highlight some of the challenges in a society that’s changing at speed; those voices need to be heard, and solutions found.

In other cases, these voices come from a fear that the balance of power will change. Well, maybe it needs to. Because once you start building borders, the world retreats into different cells closed off from each other and competing out of insecurity and limitation. It closes down potential and opportunity.
Look at the financial sector. In theory, it should operate well on a global level - it is after all a global system, for example because of its role in facilitating international trade. And there is no reason for money not to move as easily as sending an email.
In reality, it’s quite the opposite. The financial system functions very much within national borders. Some of those constraints started for the right reasons, such as to avoid criminal use of the system; many did not. More often than not the constraints are there out of self-interest or laziness and now function as a way to protect the status quo.
Is Freedom of movement a human right?
"We tend to think of the right to free movement within a state as an essential freedom. If the government banned you from visiting and settling in certain parts of the country you would rightly feel outraged. The government would be denying you the choice of where to live and study, who you can form relationships with, who you can associate with on a religious or political basis, and it would be denying you a range of important economic opportunities. These are fundamental choices that affect how our lives are lived.
But notice that these very same considerations also apply to freedom of movement across borders. In today’s globalised world, restricting your right to move across borders is not so very different from confining you to the boundaries of Yorkshire, say, or Seattle."
