I'm Italian-American. But, I don't identify that way. My
Italian-American relatives in Pittsburgh were all racists who
supported George Wallace in '68 and '72, pro-Vietnam war. A major part
of the reason I was radicalized in the 70's was a reaction against the
bigotry and ethnic chauvinism of my Italian-American relatives. (In
arguments with my Mom over civil rights and the war they called her,
"nigger lover," and, "Viet Cong."

Capital, (and as a libertarian, I haven't seen you say anything
contrary to what my Marxist teachers in college called, "the logic of
capital, " as we struggled through Marx, Capital, Volume One, his
Grundrisse and zillions of texts by academic neo-marxists) has since
1493 been international. Labor should be as well. Ruling classes
always draw arbitrary national boundaries. Ask an Iraqi about the
boundaries Britain drew in 1920.
Slipping over the border? Heh, you are sounding like LGF here,

The day after a SCOTUS decision overturning Brown vs. Board of
Education, you deny there are Racists in the upper ranks and
throughout the ranks of the bureaucracy of the USG who support the
aims of the white nationalists? You must have ignored the exposes of
Trent Lott and other Republican politicians who spoke to the CCC, the
successor to the White Citizen's Councils of the South.
