It's not a matter of being dragged into politics.  (Or at least, it shouldn't

It's essentially an engineering task of working to maximize the ability of

the least problematic.
That does not mean "no visas" or anything else simplistic, except that border 
controls do not impose undue and unpredictable barriers.
