Very Marxist really, rather than just liberal as it was to extend it to citizens. It is a bit more complex than I described though, by law, as after use by the public, there is a claim of adverse possession too. Some will claim adverse possession an evil, but indeed, that was how private property was acquired out of nature to begin with, and is a very real part and necessity of natural law. By allowing trespass, such as open borders, there is a very real chance that another government could bring suit for adverse possession, and those who think they have private property will not. I find it interesting, that some open border advocates will justify one wrong (trespass) by their perceived wrong of controlling border crossings. Perhaps they do think two wrongs make a right? Goat ------------------------------------------------- So then not allowing restrictions on access across a border is the same as theft of land? A border is then a common except where it is a private property border and then it is up to the property owner? But then what responsibility would they have for those they allowed the unrestricted access to? BWS
