Rarely are there any NATURAL boundaries separating countries and modern nation states. Socialists like H.G. Wells envisioned a WORLD GOVERNMENT where unfriendly , guarded national borders are a thing of the past.
Democratic socialists here do not applaud the " liberal " Democrats or the " conservative " Republicans or President Trump taking an " Alamo " stand on a relatively minor problem.
The cracked logic of capitalism determines who gets a productive job and who becomes a " welfare state " burden. We are ALL objectively useful to our community . There is much that needs to be done just fixing infrastructure or teaching school kids or jobs skills or helping isolated families or caring for the elderly . But capitalism is blind to any useful and humane activity that does not produce immediate PROFIT.
The cracked logic of capitalism puts millions of " under-privileged " citizens and non-citizens ( legal or illegal residents ) into the vast , monstrous prison system , the American Gulag.
ALL the " liberal " Democrats support rotten capitalism - even " socialist " Bernie Sanders and " progressive " Elizabeth Warren. Just ask them ! They also support the U.S. War Crimes Machine.
