Why not fortify the border instead — no other country is allowing invasion, as we do.

Why Liberal Elites Want Open Borders:

Large farm groups want cheap labor.

Hotels want ‘slavery-lite’ maids.

Pedophiles want young children to torture and rape.

Liberal elites want to feel smug in their superiority about ‘racially correct’ thinking. ( And secretly wish for gratitude and appreciation.)

Lowlife ‘parents’ in South America want citizenship - and they’re willing to let their children die for it.

Democrats want new dependent voters.

And Obama wants chaos and strife to bring down our country.

And us? We sense evil... we’re moving toward the sounds of guns ... we see fires in the streets.

Cong Gohmert's been on this a long time.

HANDY REFERENCE 2006 Congressional Hearing:
Should Mexico Hold Veto Power Over U.S. Border Security Decisions?

SOURCE: commdocs.house.gov/committees/judiciary/hju29604.000/hju29604_0f.htm

EXCERPT/LONG READ--Quoting former judge, Cong Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) ---- As I understand, the current law prohibits encouraging or inducing and also prohibits aiding and abetting. That's generally the language we have in the State penal code here in Texas. But 4437 adds the words ''assists and directs'' to plug the gaps in the current law.

And I can understand persons who believe that it should not be a crime at all. But it still kind of begs the question, wouldn't it be better, if that is your view, to have it a misdemeanor than a felony? So that, though, is still a little hard to understand if that's the position.

But my good friend Mr. Reyes made the point that corruption doesn't recognize international boundaries, and that's what we've been hearing in the evidence here today, and that's true.

But we've heard the expression before that capital is a coward, that money for investment will flow into areas where it is least at risk, which is one of the reasons so much money has come to the United States from investment and continues, because even though there is some corruption here and we continue to need to pursue it and never should rest, but that it is safer here than it is in Mexico because there is more corruption there.

So I would submit to you that corruption is a coward. And we ought to encourage our neighbors to the south to be about the business of enforcing the law, and that needs to become with an—become an exclamation point.

And I could not agree more with my friend Congressman Reyes who said we should not just hire 2,000 Border Patrol agents 1 year and 200 the next. That has got to be an ongoing continuing battle. We appropriated, I believe, more than $275 million, more than the Administration had asked for last year, which shows really the heart of where we are in the House of Representatives.

But I also think it's worth noting, when it comes to compassion and caring, the United States has traditionally voted for issues of compassion and human rights in the United Nations. And I haven't seen yet the new figures for 2005, but I saw the numbers for 2004 and was staggered to see that our neighbor to the south votes against the United States' position nearly three-fourths of the time. So it would be good to have a neighbor that was more on board with us in some of these areas.---snip--
