I think we'll eventually get to that stage - where everything is one big EU-like superstate. It would, of course, require that we don't annihilate ourselves before then, but it seems to be the general trend at least. I doubt we'd ever get rid of borders entirely, though. Human beings are the same the world over, and should be treated as such, but the world itself is not the same everywhere. Life brings different challenges depending on where you find yourself. So there will always be a greener side of the fence for the vast majority of the population. That 'temperature difference' will always bring a certain conflict, and that conflict will always bring a certain siege mentality for those who are on the aforementioned greener side of the fence.
On the bright side, as climate change devastates the planet, we'll all be living on the same 100-square-mile patch of land eventually, so this debate will be moot.
