Salon: Open Borders ‘Only Way to Defeat Trump’

Breitbart Texas ^ | 3/15/17 | John Binder

Open borders are the only path to defeating President Donald Trump, a Salon writer claims.

In a piece titled “Everyone’s wrong on immigration: Open borders are the only way to defeat Trump and build a better world”, Salon writer Anis Shivani claims that there is no distinction between a legal and illegal immigrant; immigration law is “racist”; and “open borders are the only way to go.” Shivani adds:

We are in a situation of chaos, breeding technical illegality, because federal regulations have become too complex. Comprehensive immigration reform of any type would make these laws even more cumbersome by drastically curtailing family unification (our quotas, even after the 1965 liberalization, have always been vastly insufficient to the needs) and thus inviting more illegality. I don’t want to rest my case for open borders on the economic justification, but studies in the 1980s noted that world economic output would double if open borders prevailed everywhere, and studies in the 2000s showed even greater gains for the world economy.

Americans often compare the nation to a house, arguing that immigrants who enter without inspection or overstay their visas are like robbers whom we have every right to detain and expel. But a country or even a state or a city or a neighborhood is not a house (just as it is simplistic to compare a country’s budget to a household’s). The nation is dynamic and includes all of us. The nation is an abstraction is only as good as the operation of freedom within it. The same is even truer of the world. If the world cannot be put inside a border, then a country trying to do the same is foolish.

John Binder, author of this imbecilic screed, is a Soros weenie boy.

Are you guys sure Anis Shivani spells his first name correctly?

“studies in the 1980s noted that world economic output would double if open borders prevailed everywhere, and studies in the 2000s showed even greater gains for the world economy”

There is no “world economy”... there are countries that get richer and countries that get poorer. Anybody talking about a “world economy” is hoping that you won’t notice if it is YOUR country that is getting the short end of the stick.

Oops. I misidentified the Breithart writer with the Salon scribbler. My apologies.

[The Toll]

Great way to get millions slaughtered.

>> Immigration from one country, Mexico, is 2.5 times that of many countries combined. <<<

But I thought diversity was our strength???

[Boomer]

Just when you thought you didn’t need another reason to despise salon and the leftists in general; something like this surfaces.

[Conservative Gato]

I looked the author up. He’s just another Harvard ivory tower blathering idiot.

...Salon: Open Borders ‘Only Way to Defeat Trump...

Democrats: Open Borders ‘Only Way to Defeat America..

[Professional]

Anis? Anis?

Anus...

[morphing libertarian]

Just confirms what we’ve know for years. They’re not illegals they’re democrat voters.

[NoLibZone]

Salon confirms that non US Citizens vote DNC.

Open borders are a non-starter when you have a welfare state.

You want open borders? Eliminate the welfare state first.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Trump has flushed the America-haters out into the open.

[lavaroise]

Might as well give the whole game... The only way to defeat America is to invite terrorists and foreign enemies to set up shop.

The other secret is Bush and Rinos are in on it.

Here are the names of Salon's personnel. They should know that open borders and a mass invasion will lead to a less than civil war, that Americans will remember who the traitors are, and that they are on that list.
