May's policy is insane (and not only this part of it). This is the only land border the UK has, and if there is no “physical infrastructure”, there are no immigration and customs facilities to control who and what is allowed to enter the country. This means there is no border -- they certainly aren't going to have controls between Northern Ireland and Britain.

May's only interest seems to be in keeping the UK as closely tied to the EU as possible. If she isn't replaced before she can impose the sort of deal she wants on the country, Brexit will become a disaster.
