'Completely open borders are inevitable,' predicts UK Labour's John McDonnell
UK Daily Mail ^ | Jan. 31, 2016 | Tim Sculthorpe

Completely open borders allowing unfettered migration around the world are 'inevitable', shadow chancellor John McDonnell claimed today.

During an interview about the migrant crisis facing Europe, which could see more than a million people try to cross its borders this year, Mr McDonnell said the movement of people around the globe would render border controls 'irrelevant'.

The shadow chancellor, a crucial close ally of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said conflict, poverty and climate change would drive mass migration of people around the world.

He told the BBC Sunday Politics: 'The movement of peoples across the globe will mean that borders are almost going to become irrelevant by the end of this century, so we should be preparing for that and explain why people move.

'In our policy making, as politicians, we should be working now to see how we address that because it will mean that we need to look at how we resolve conflicts, how we make the world more equal and also how we tackle climate change. In that way in that way we can deal with the reality of the world which means that people aren’t forced to move but there will be movement.'

Pressed on whether he meant totally open borders, he said: 'I think at the end of this century that’s what will occur. We’re seeing people ignoring borders already as they fly from Syria.'

A country can chose to have an advanced welfare system.

A country can chose to have open borders.

No country can have both.

Trump is not running in Britain. That said, McDonnell is certainly being open about what he is.
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality. ...
From the second chapter of the Manifesto.

Labour delenda est. UKIP is not morally strong enough to deal perverse people like McDonnell and Corwyn a political deathblow, however; and the Tories are on Labour’s side.

It will be like California except the size of the world. You have your nice slice of heaven, and swarms of Californians flood over the mountains like a horde of locusts to devour everything good in sight, then leave devastation in their wake when it comes time to move to the next uncorrupted locale.

This is akin to running sewage and drinking water through the same pipe.

There has to be SOME separation to assure that contamination does not overtake the entire system and render it useless either for whisking away sewage or supplying potable supplies.

Open borders are only “inevitable” if the people whose country is being invaded are too cowardly to do anything about it.

Nothing will bring about true equality like knocking civilization back 3 or 4 thousand years.

>> Completely open borders are inevitable,

They made that decision when they killed Qaddafi and ran Mubarak out of power.

Something stinks.

Ask the cretinous Brit liberal if he still believes that after he tries to walk into the PRC from Hong Kong.

How about open property? Anyone has the right to live on my property. How about Figure Eight Island in North Carolina, which has hundreds of residences and access to the island is limited?

How, then about a country, which has this thing called a government. Will a government obey a super-government rule that says their country must allow anyone in?

My opinion is that it comes down to force, not reason. People will flow into a country if it offers a better life unless the country has the strength and will to stop it.

Forget laws and treaties. It’s all about force.

Big screwup.

...said conflict, poverty and climate change would drive mass migration of people around the world.

If "climate change" is real and not a myth, wouldn't it be global?

If "climate change" is global, what the hell good would it do to "migrate"?

This guy is FOS and just spilled the beans about the "climate change" hoax and scam.
