    Notice how capital can cross borders, but people can’t?

    Well… some capital. Don’t try to order anything from Cuba or Venezuela or Russia and expect it on your doorstep any time soon.

    Possibly Mexico, Canada, or China soon too, if the Trumpies get everything they’re asking for.

    And the citizens in a poor country can’t move to a wealthy country to earn better wages.

    Best example of this I’ve ever seen (other than Israel/Gaza, which is really more of an interior border) is Haiti/Dominican Republic. The fact that they’re all on the same island but one half looks like the fucking Korean Demilitarized Zone to keep the other half out is bleak af. Particularly nauseating when you’re seeing earthquake relief getting held up by some of the most evil bureaucratic fucks you’ve ever dealt with in your life.
