\"facebookMark Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at Facebook\u2019s annual developers\u2019 conference in San Francisco. Zuckerberg used the occasion to scold<\/a> those who do not share his vision of a borderless world. \u201cAs I look around and I travel around the world, I\u2019m starting to see people and nations turning inward, against this idea of a connected world and a global community. I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as \u2018others.\u2019 For blocking free expression, for slowing immigration, reducing trade and, in some cases around the world, even cutting access to the Internet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg is <\/span>one of the leading financiers<\/a> of the effort to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and opening America\u2019s doors to virtually anyone in the \u201cglobal community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Zuckerberg\u2019s views about his own community and how near he wants be to \u2018others\u2019 is a very different matter. <\/span>In 2013, the tech blog site, peeplo.com<\/a>, noted that Zuckerberg spent $30 million to buy up the properties adjacent to his Palo Alto home \u201cbecause of his increasing concern about privacy\u2026With the impulsive purchase of the four houses made by Mark, this is just a clear indication that he does not want anyone coming over in his place and go looking at him at any time of the day. By buying the four houses closest to his present abode, he has made it possible to avoid the situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

From the perspective of a billionaire, in \u201ca connected world and a global community\u201d our country\u2019s doors should always be open…just so long as no one gets the idea that it\u2019s okay to pop by the Zuckerbergs\u2019 house to borrow a cup of sugar.<\/span>
