It's such a convoluded mess. In a scarcity driven system of legalese, borders are required to keep the show going. Taking borders away like that would not be a great idea as long as the other mechanisms stay as they are because to me borders are in themselves a symptom, nothing more. In a world where we remember our rights and communicate to one another directly, borders will be nothing but a sorry remnant of times when human beings had no clue who or what they were.

I really hope all borders can fall away in our lifetimes - if the rest of the prerequisites are accomplished as well. I also wonder how real we should take them. Maybe it's not the controllers' fault for introducing and maintaining them, but ours for consenting to the idea.
