We project our bodies into the idea of the nation, conceiving our country as an entity with boundaries. This fantasy that our nation is a body--a projection of our own body--structures reality.
Borders must be built to prevent this body from being raped. Boundaries become porous and foreigners seep in through the holes. Walls must be built; orifices sealed. Nothing must be allowed to penetrate. The body politic must not be raped.
