Borders

Why do countries have borders? The definition of a border is a boundary for governments. Without borders, countries could not keep their enemies out. Borders keep order in a country too. For example, if their were no borders, who could tell which land was who's? This piece of land could belong to Canada or the U.S., but without a boundary, people couldn't tell which is which. If it was Canadian land, Canadas' laws would be enforced there. If it was U.S. territory, the U.S.s' laws would be in effect. If there were no borders, and no borderer patrol, people could bring in anything they wanted from country to country. They could bring in weapons, drugs, or any other illegal possesions. There would also be overpopulation in countries. Borders help regulate the flow of people into a country, so if the borders were to just disappear, people could decide that they don't like their own country, and flock to a better one.
