My feelings? Borders are imaginary boundaries.
I think this is the wrong question.
The right question is about private property. If all those people coming from other places are invading your property you have the right to defend it. That's it.
What about the collective's private property? That's what nation states are meant to represent - a collection of individuals with common culture/ethnicity/heritage. And state lands are property of the collective and thus need to be protected from invaders. No?

collective's private property?
there's no such thing. Or is communism. But that is another bullshit story.
And state lands are property of the collective and thus need to be protected from invaders.
If each one can defend their land/property where they live, why do you need state to "protect" you. That is an appeal to authority, that means you put yourself under their authority and you get what you fucking deserve - a boot on your face.
nation states are meant to represent
nation states are a scam to keep you enslaved by an illusion.
Watch and learn

There are no borders without government.
No law, no justice, or even framework for it.
Without government capital investment declines rapidly toward zero because there is no consistent way to enforce contracts and uphold property rights.
If you do not like government so much go somewhere there is none.
If on the other hand if you accept government is a fundamental requirement for prosperity and security get involved in working towards ensuring your government is not corrupt.
Libertarians complete disregard for governments and assertion that they are all completely corrupt and therefore there is no point in trying to change them is the greatest gift to all authoritarian despots as it grants them the perfect apathetic citizens who will not fight against corrupt government.

I wonder how it would change US politics if the default was to side with citizens who enforced their own property rights.
We are very far away from this.

Think about this: it's all a shitshow to keep more people divided and fight to each others.
Biden admin bring them inside and gave them perks to keep them coming.
Trump admin want to kick them out because is part of the initial plan (divide and control).
Both sides they don't give a shit about people and about you. They only want more power to keep the boot on your face.
Are among them criminals? Yes ofc, like everywhere else. But those criminals must be selected and bring to justice.

Without government how do you select and bring to justice criminals?
Without government you cannot control immigration.
