So we should get rid of borders and currency, and instead segregate society to appease racists?

You were onto something good, until you went "but racists wouldn't like seeing homeless immigrants, so we should do apartheid".

Maybe get some sleep.

Not segregate society, that was an example of a mechanism (not good, but existent in history), rather leave permission to enter a town or district to its local authorities.

No "we should".

And most people around don't like seeing homeless immigrants. Hence the idea.

Racists might actually feel more than average person for those of them of "right" extraction.

But the issue here is that crowds of immigrants seeking for greener pastures can indeed paralyze life in places on their path. Letting them in should be left to the decision of local authorities, so that each such division could determine how many and by which criteria it lets in and accommodates.

Not being allowed into some specific Bumfucktown, but being allowed into some other specific Bumfuckridge isn't end of the world. While citizenship being almost out of reach is a far harder issue.

I'm not talking about getting rid of currency.
