> lines on a map which we call "nations" are a foolish way to decide who is allowed to go where and do what.
A nation is a group of people. What you're referring to is territory that belongs to a country.
> But it does mean I don't care about whether the people who come in are "like me" in some meaningful way.
That's great if you don't value national identity or the differences between nations in any way, but many people do value those. They (myself included) wish to see their and other groups retain their distinctions, and not be homogenized into a globally indistinguishable mush, which is what you propose.
> Also, it sounds like what you consider "national" framing is actually racial framing.
That is what "national" means [1]. The "people who share a passport" alternative meaning is a very recent redefinition.
