Borders of entry vs borders of exit

Borders of entry are good but borders of exit are usually bad. I support the right to voluntary association also known as voluntary integration and voluntary refusal of association (aka voluntary segregation.) Borders of entry allow refusal of association but borders of exit prevent refusal of association.

An exception in which I approve of borders of exit is imprisoning murderers or other people who pose a risk of violence but not for a State imprisoning people who committed victimless crimes.

A border of exit might be refusing to allow Americans to exit America or Mexicans to exit Mexico but a border of entry might forbid some Mexicans from entering America or some Americans from entering Mexico.

I do not recognize State borders as legitimate as I do not recognize the legitimacy of states but I recognize the legitimacy of borders for voluntary communities. However since States do not allow voluntary communities to achieve borders I temporarily support state borders of entry as a means to keep violent people or those with infectious diseases out if this is the only means a voluntary community existing within a state can use to keep people out of their community.
