Keith Ellison sports 'I don't believe in borders' T-shirt

A video posted online Monday shows a Democratic Party leader wearing a T-shirt calling for an end to U.S. borders while participating in a local May Day parade in Minnesota last Friday.

Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, D-Minn., wore a black shirt that read, "Yo no creo en fronteras."

In English, that sentence translates to, "I don't believe in borders."

Ellison, a progressive Democrat, said in March he supports a new type of welfare proposal that would have the government pay people a basic salary if technological advancements put them out of work.

"I personally do think that the universal basic income — it has a lot of merit," Ellison said during a panel discussion in Minneapolis. "As people are displaced, the truth is there's still plenty of stuff for people to do. I don't think that universal basic income means people sit around. I think it means they do other things that are necessary, like extra folks in the classroom to help out the teacher."

In February, he also said he backed the idea of a "maximum wage."

"If you were to say, ‘Look, if you make more than 20 times more than the people who actually make the products and do the services of your company,’ then we’re going to tax you more," Ellison said.

Well then I guess he doesn’t believe in the 50 states. Or the different countries. Heck, we must just be one big worldwide city. When did we become Coruscant?

Their cozy little vision of a happy socialist/communist future leaves out just one little factor. Human nature. That blows it out of the water. People simply don’t respond like robots. The two most obvious hinderances, laziness and greed. They will never create a heaven on earth.

I translate that as, “I like importing lots of folks who will work for less than my bruthas and sistahs and keep them out of the job market.”

The hell? Flipping child!

Why the $%@%$ would I need to do anything? I’m GUARANTEED money just for breathing!

Just rent a room for cheap, live off of junk food, and make money “under the table”.

Professional homeless people can live the hobo life and get paid for it!

If we sent our military 10 miles into Mexico to set up a border zone...


Mexico has (or at least had) such border zone. Except for Baja California, Mexico has a Frontier Zone along its border with the U.S. If you drive more than 20 km south of the border you will be stopped at a checkpoint and a have to get a visa allowing you and your car to travel further into Mexico. So the Mexicans have already established the checkpoints for our military’s use.

Should Minnesota have borders allowing him to be a senator from Minn? This man is an idiot. He represents muslims all over the world. He hates the USA.

Proof that Ellison is totally incapable of upholding his oath of office. The Constitution he swore to uphold guarantees every state to be protected from foreign invasion!

To those who don't recognize "borders" nothing can be called an "invasion."

The Democrats have given enough ammo to any Conservative who REALLY wants to be elected to office....You just have to have the GUTS to use it and fight them.
