Yes, the Democrats Are for Open Borders
National Review ^ | November 27, 2018 | Mark Krikorian

Although Democrats routinely deny that they’re for open borders — dismissing the very suggestion as an outrageous slur — their reaction to Sunday’s violence by some of the Central American illegal aliens in Tijuana suggests otherwise.

If Democrats criticize DHS for trying to prevent storming of the border, and for responding to attacks on its agents with non-lethal crowd-control measures like tear gas, then what border-control measures can they possibly be for?

The border clash was the culmination of a series of policy choices by Democrats over the past several years, asymptotically approaching open borders. Although things are lousy in Central America, it was the Obama administration’s reaction to illegal immigration from there that created this flow. By releasing into the U.S. Central Americans bringing children with them, as well as releasing “unaccompanied” “minors” from Central America who were brought here by smugglers hired by their relatives in the U.S., the prior administration created a powerful incentive to head north.

As a Salvadoran illegal alien who was released by the Border Patrol after crossing into Texas told my colleague Jerry Kammer in 2014: “We were watching CNN, and they were saying that the United States was giving opportunities to women with children. And since some neighbors of ours had come, we decided to try it.”

The ruse these illegal immigrants have been using to get released is an asylum claim. Even though the vast majority of the claims are clearly without merit (and half of those released in order to pursue their applications never bother to follow through), the Left, both in and out of government, has encouraged their filing, and the prolongation of cases.

If you say “Democrats are not for open borders”, you are either a democrat propagandist (like 99.999% of the media) or you are a moron on the level of the feeble-minded brother in Rainman.

Democrats view open borders as the path to a permanent majority.

Democrats are communists/globalists.
Those that support and vote, or voted, for them are totally deluded...or insane.

Democrats say they're for ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ which is code for “make all of ‘em legal”... They've pulled the same scam for years... hoodwinking the American people so they can bring in new democrats and the servant class they desire... pigs. Effing pig democrats.

“Yes, the Democrats Are for Open Borders”

When white people won’t vote for you you have to replace them with people who will.

If a bunch of of fair skinned Pols and Chzecks (or whoever) with conservative proclivities took boats and planes to Toronto and were amassing on the Niagara border and rioting in the tens of thousands, democrats would be demanding that Trump do something to stop it and secure our sovereignty.

This is all about prospective votes.

"Democrats view open borders as the path to a permanent majority."

In spite of the insanity on display from the left for the last two years plus, the multitude of low information freeloaders will make permanent the party of socialism within two decades.

They need a new underclass of voters while business needs cheap labor. The perfect storm.

Of course the new voting underclass will eventually elect Communists, which won’t be so good for the businessmen.

But hey, they will have collected a few more quarterly bonuses before that happens.

The Democrats want the immigrant children to fill the classrooms of the public schools. That way they get funding and the teachers’ paychecks that follow. Then the teachers pay union dues which fund Democrat politicians.
