That's such a weird position to take. It seems to me that reality is the exact opposite. The modern nation state is an amazing human invention, because it allowed for the first time the question of "who belongs" to be answered by something other than "just our tribe/clan/kin/religious brethren."

And yet, this philosophy (that you're replying to) explains so much of the really left wing elements of the progressive movements. If nation states are a disaster and borders are arbitrary...and "who belongs" is an open question...then of course one would throw open the border for "more deserving" folks.
