Nobody is talking about erasing borders. But you want to make them impenetrable to everyone from outside the country.

I am old enough to remember when they were pretty tight and we did alright then. I remember when Made in the USA was like the Gold standard which we used to have. Japan sent us toys made of beer cans and tools that were not much better. Now they make better products than we do and they have practically zero immigration.

Steve Wozniak coughed up $5,000,000.00 to move to Australia and attain citizenship, here we invite in welfare cases. Does something seem off about that to you? If not that proves Trump's assertion that we are stupid.

So how did we morph from banning all foreign visitors to banning all foreign visitors and imports?

You are exactly right. We ARE STUPID. I checked into immigrating to New Zealand. They want $1.5 million investment to bring with, then they will award residency. And must pass their English test.
