Having an open border combined with a welfare state is crazy. It’s like having a really nice house with really nice things inside, and then telling people, “It’s all yours. Come on in any time you want. Take whatever you wish”. What do you think would happen?
It’s stupid not to have locks on your doors. But it’s even more stupid to treat all your things as if they all belong to others. Yet that’s pretty much what we’re doing now in America, or at least we WILL be doing if the leftists, Democrats and RINO types get their way.
It has nothing to do with immigration. Immigration is a great thing — for a free country. In a free country, people are responsible for themselves and themselves only. They can take on whatever responsibilities they wish, but not as an obligation. Only if they choose to do so. The most obvious example of a chosen obligation is to have a child, or a family.
In a welfare state, everyone is responsible for everyone else — under the law. It’s not benevolence. It’s not kindness. It’s coercion. Coercion and kindness do NOT mix.
The problems are so much deeper than the border wall, illegal aliens, and all the rest. The problems go to the core of our society.
We repeatedly elect people into high office who say, “Hey, the more you produce, the more the results of your efforts belong to others”. People who created NOTHING — these 25 or so Democrats running for President — are given the right to treat the products of others’ efforts as their own, and exploit giving them away for political gain. “Look at me! I’m so generous with other people’s money!”
This is sick, wrong, twisted and deranged. It never should have started, and now it’s out of control. You know it’s out of control when these twisted politicians come out and say it’s time for 90 percent tax rates, totally open borders, and a total welfare state.
America is poised to go the way of the Soviet Union, Maoist China, Cuba and Venezuela. The level of ignorance for this to happen is almost too much to contemplate. For a country like Russia, Nicaragua or Venezuela to fall for Communism is one thing. It’s like falling from a second or third floor window. For a country like America to do it, it’s like falling from the top of the world’s highest skyscraper. It’s incredibly stupid and horrifically wrong. I can’t believe it’s happening to the extent it has.
Yet it’s where we are: One of our two political parties saying, in effect, “The doors are open. It’s all yours. Nothing belongs to anyone — except to us, the politicians, of course”.
Madness. Will a majority of voters seriously allow it? We will know in a little over a year. The stakes have been very high for America in the past: The Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II. We are at a similar point now.
Our freedom is ours to save. If we don’t act to keep it, we will lose it. And freedom will have perished from the earth. It can’t happen.
A similar article was already posted in Rome some centuries back when their empire was collapsing.
Let’s see now...if you have open borders, anyone can walk in and take over.
In other words invasion is a civil right?
Absolutely not. Open borders + a welfare state in America is like the wealthy oligarchy allowing us peons to have nice houses with nice stuff then telling the savages around the world they can come into our homes and take what they want.
Because, that's what's happening. These mongrels are taking gramma's medicare and uncle rufus' job and low cost housing that cousin emma needs for her and her kids.
Meanwhile, the pedophile oligarchy has armed guards and concrete walls and bullet proof limos for themselves.
Open borders will eliminate the middle class in this country and insure democrat electoral victories forever.
That is why the dims are fighting so hard for this.
“A similar article was already posted in Rome some centuries back when their empire was collapsing.”
I was reading Cicero and if you didn’t know it was Rome you’d have thought it was the U.S.
Open borders means that, the whole of S. America and Central America and other parts of the world would flow into the U.S. Once the ‘invasion’ starts to occur, it would mean the end of the U.S., with no sustainable economy, and a complete breakdown in society would result.
In other words, the U.S. would cease to exist. At that point, the inflow of ‘illegals’ would stop, since, they’d have no good reason to enter the U.S. anymore; no economy and no structure and no societal norms and nothing of the old U.S. left over.
Want to destroy a country? Open borders is the answer.

‘It’s like having a really nice house with really nice things inside, and then telling people, “It’s all yours. Come on in any time you want. Take whatever you wish”.’
Yeah that didn’t work out so well for Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys when he was hanging out with the Manson family.
I dunno. Every time I think they’ve reached the final stage, they surprise me and manage to get even crazier.
” Open borders means that, the whole of S, America and Central America and other parts of the world would flow into the U.S. Once the ‘invasion’ starts to occur, it would mean the end of the U.S. ...”
ARRRRGH!
Do you not see that that is part of the Soros/Koch/Obama/Bush/globalist/uniparty plan ?!!
crazy, right?
Open borders is just another step in the ladder leading to a one world government.
“These mongrels are taking...”
With all due respect, this half-English quarter-German quarter-Italian all-American mongrel thinks that if you eliminated all the mongrels in America you’d have very few Americans left. It’s not a bad thing to be of mixed ethnicity (or mixed race either for that matter).
I’m reminded of the scene in Trading Places where Eddie Murphy invites all his freeloader friends to his new fancy Brownstone and they immediately trash the place.
Hey little dog, you've been a FReeper for an entire 8 whole days, and already you're giving "lessons" to folks who've been on here for probably longer than you've been alive? Do us all a favor and just keep on lurking, okay? Woof woof.
I honestly had no idea that the validity of my (relatively uncontroversial) point depended on my age or that of my FR account.
I apologize for all my shortcomings.
