Borders are racist… until they’re needed

There was a time, not so long ago, when building a border was a moral crime.
A wall – a symbol of hatred.
Territorial protection – a relic of nationalism.
Opposition to illegal migration?
A sign of xenophobia, fascism, lack of empathy.

But something changed.

Because today, the same people who screamed “no borders” have started building them themselves.
France, Germany, Sweden – countries that for years flexed their moral superiority over Central Europe – are now tightening the screws.
They build fences, send people back, change their narrative.
Suddenly “strong borders” are no longer a sin – they’re common sense.

And before?
Countries that didn’t agree to chaos were put against the wall.
They were threatened with sanctions, forced migration quotas, promised multi-million euro penalties.
For what?
For wanting to decide who enters their territory.

The European Parliament – the same one that was supposed to symbolize unity and cooperation – now feels like a control office.
It no longer cares if a country has its own voice.
It cares whether it follows orders.
And if not – then a penalty, financial or political.
The EU, which was meant to connect economies and support freedom, now dictates what laws you must have in your own country.
That’s not cooperation. That’s colonization with a smile.

And if only they played fair. But they don’t.
Germany – one of the pillars of this EU morality – literally dumps migrants across the border.
Police drive people to a border bridge, push them across, and leave.
No explanation. No agreement.
Silently. On their terms.
Because they can.

Meanwhile in the US?
Another round of the wall battle is underway.
Trump is back on the scene and says it plainly: there will be a wall, there will be deportations, the circus ends here.
And suddenly, support grows.
Because regular people have had enough.
Enough of chaos, enough of no control, enough of a system that cares more about illegals than its own citizens.

In this entire puzzle, there’s one country that’s done it right from the start:
held the borders, spoke directly, didn’t apologize for common sense.
It was criticized, insulted, pushed to the margins.
And today?
It’s safe.
Stable.
Normal.

You don’t have to be from that country to say it.
You just need eyes.
And the guts to call things what they are.
