Open Borders Are a Death Sentence to Western Nations
American Thinker ^ | 13 Jul, 2026 | J.B. Shurk

Governments have refused to respect the wishes of their citizens.

As simmering conflicts between Western citizens and Western governments boil over the next few years, we must never forget how we got to this point: Elected officials and irremovable bureaucrats occupying permanent administrative roles have refused to respect the wishes of the citizens whom they ostensibly represent and serve.

From the United States to the United Kingdom, citizens have demanded that their governments secure national borders and end the steady flow of illegal aliens into their communities. From France, the Netherlands, and Germany to Australia and New Zealand, citizens have demanded that their governments arrest and remove Islamic immigrants who are guilty of rape, murder, or other violent crimes. With the exception of President Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration law and deport illegal alien criminals (despite formidable resistance from the courts, leftist NGOs, and Establishment politicians from both the Democrat and Republican Parties) in the United States, no Western official has done anything to remedy the scourge of unlawful mass invasion in a deliberate, meaningful, and effective way. Instead, Western governments hide from their citizens the true number of illegal immigrants living among them. Western governments hide from their citizens a full accounting of the crimes committed by foreign nationals who should never have been permitted entry in the first place.

Mass illegal immigration is not a new problem. In the United States, President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act into law in 1986. Defended by both political parties as a way of combating illegal immigration while providing long-term lawbreakers legal status, it effectively awarded millions of foreign nationals amnesty. Politicians convinced the American people to support this trade-off: In return for citizens’ reluctantly permitting the government to reward the unlawful behavior of foreign immigrants

I don’t see how this isn’t common sense. Any homeowner anywhere knows that if they leave their doors and windows open and a sign in the yard that says free room and board stay here knows that they will lose the house that week.

“Just send the illegal invaders home. Kindly, humanely but promptly.

“However, the bureaucrats who facilitated this through non-profits, and broke our laws, must be prosecuted.”

You are absolutely correct.

Not only end the inflow, but deport the ones they already let in.

The Establishment is digging their heels in kicking and screaming against any attempt to restore Western countries to their native populations. These people from politicians to bureaucrats to judges ALL need to go.

It’s a bit late. Only a bloody civilizational war can repair the damage. But the western world won’t fight. Islam will fight.

American citizenship was limited to whites and conditions, and immigration was very tiny for the first 40+ years of America, by 1830 we had 143,000 foreign born in America, and then we started letting in a flood of Catholics and they started major changes in our big cities government and politics with more corruption and socialism, and European ideas of unions and government control.
