Time for the U.S. to Have Open Borders.
We’ve had them for the last 50 years and look what happened.

Open borders?! Well then, just go ahead a toss the Constitution into the shredder ... because the meaning of “country” would be gone.

The reason their agendas are the same is because they are neither Democrat nor Republican. Rather, they are simply about power and wealth. They will support whoever and whatever furthers those goals.

Yes, you stole the words from my keyboard. The uniparty puppets are all beholden to the Koch Caliphate.

The CATO folks and other extremist, utopian Libertarians believe, in error, you can have and you can keep Liberty without sovereignty. They are in their own utoptian way as misguided as the Marxists.

This apparently has been the policy of the United States for the past 70 years (give or take) with politicians from both parties giving lip service to border control.

President Trump, much to the dismay of the globalist, actually means it when he says he wants to control our borders.

So the activities that where being done in secret has been exposed and like roaches that scurry abut when the light is turned on, the left is mounting a “defense” of open borders.

Once again, thank you President Trump for exposing our real enemies.

Why bother with even having a country if there are open borders? With open borders,our country would just turn into whatever was the closest aggressive country next to us. We sure don’t need that,having already seen some of the results.

Democrats observe the constituents who elect brain dead Maxine Waters and want to copy that across the whole country. A completely degraded society of Orcs votes Democrat over and over.

This has been the formal position of the Libertarian Party for decades.

They even came up with a plausible bullshit story to support it.

Think what can be accomplished just by denying all taxpayer benefits to all immigrants. Then immigrants will be helping to build wealth in America. With today’s welfare state, immigration is destructive. See what Milton Friedman has to say. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JQzW6DNkP_8

Of course we’ve added another problem, also caused by the welfare state and that is the use of illicit drugs, which the wall will probably help.

Stop and THINK. WHY are they coming here in the first place? They come because they know they can collect all kinds of taxpayer benefits. I am shocked that no one is willing to address the reason they come here. It’s because of the welfare state. We must shut off the magnet that attracts them. It’s not that difficult. This is a no-brainer but no one cares why they’re coming.

Why are you being nasty. What Im saying is common sense. If we really want to solve this problem we must dismantle the welfare state.

Unbridled immigration ( both legal and illegal, both bad )and the welfare state are two independent problems. Binding them together is what state-st do to confuse issues.

Then immigrants will be helping to build wealth in America.

Your supposition that we NEED any more immigrants at this point in time is bogus. I cannot take you seriously .

Hey Koch bros. Leave the front door to your mansions open. Ok? Let me know how that works out for you.

Where did I say we need more? I didn’t but it is possible certain workers are needed in certain areas and if that is the case there needs to be a way for them to come here LEGALLY. But again, they should not have access to taxpayer benefits. This means all immigrants will be self sufficient.
