The main problem I have with illegal immigration is the language barrier. Practically no illegal immigrants come to America speaking English, and almost none of them learn the native tongue.
Yes, English is indeed a hard language to learn, and if the immigrants are illegal, they probably don't have the time or money to take classes, but it is my belief that it is common courtesy for an immigrant coming into any country to already be at least partially fluent in the native language. As an immigrant, it is your responsibility to adapt to your new home; you shouldn't expect your new home to adapt to you.
This ideological "there shouldn't be any countries" thing is a pipe dream, in my humble opinion. If you think that most cultures wouldn't settle only with similar cultures, then you're kidding yourself. Of course there would be pockets of mixed peoples all over, like we have now, but for the most part, I'm sure most would follow the old "to each their own" motto, especially with the popularized "contemporary racism" that we have today. There would be centralized hubs of certain ethnicities forming their own laws and rules, and before you know it, we would have countries all over again.
I believe that a suddenly removing social barriers like countries and such would just promote fear, misunderstanding, and more racism, especially if I were to be correct in my little "to each their own" voluntary segregation theory thing.
