How Can Open Borders Ever Work? – The Flaws in the Premise
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Not only are there vast organizations dedicated to the idea of open border immigration, there are grassroots movements, individual campaigners, and also elements within governments that want this deeply flawed “plan” to become the new Global Vision. But they are all missing some very important points that seem not to be challenged by opponents.

The fact is that the idea of a world where we can live where we want, travel freely, and escape poverty is very attractive. It even seems the moral choice in many ways…But there are dangers and issues that do not get pointed out. Those who speak against open borders will forever be doomed to lose in the court of public opinion because they do not take the time to spell out the flaws in the “logic.”

The Bush League Republicans have been colluding with Democrats on a bipartisan plan to flood the country with foreigners in order to steal the country from the citizens.

Our sovereignty is in the way of the George H.W. Bush New World Order.

First they must turn US into North Mexico.

Open borders will help the Democrat Party grow. The tax payers will help foot the bill to support people who are illegal immigrants. Why not support people who have worked hard and invested their lives in this country?

You can pick one or any two:

Welfare State, Open Borders, America.

Three is completely impossible.

There are varying definitions of Open Borders, the most extreme calls for no passports, the least extreme is just land borders don’t have any border enforcement.

The only way any of this would be possible is if we were willing to enforce the law at a local level which we already have well documented evidence that isn’t going to happen.

If you are the caliphate, it works great!

For the achievers, the creators, the inventors, not so good.... it’s just a huge raid on success.

The goal isn’t for it to work.

The goal is to overwhelm the US with potential voters dependent on the Democrats to give them free stuff so they can then be Amnestied to remove any chance of Republican, and especially, conservative governance.

This was the plan all along.

So if the illegals coming in are disproportionately Latinos, aren’t open borders racist?

More than anything else a nation state is a “container” of a dominant culture, i.e. its values. The values are maintained by the customs, traditions, laws of the people living there. In many cases they have fought to maintain those values.

If you remove the borders you break the container and with it the nation and its values because the people flooding in will not have the same culture and values, in fact they may have values that are anathema to the country’s culture.

That is why multiculturalism is a disaster for any nation.

Yes it is racist, it is the belief that they are so worthless that they can’t possible improve their own country.
