Salon: Open Borders ‘Only Way to Defeat Trump’
Breitbart Texas ^ | 3/15/17 | John Binder

Posted on 03/15/2017 6:41:18 PM PDT by markomalley

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.

Trump is irrelevant. Open borders is the way to defeat America and WE THE PEOPLE. In fact, this ongoing coup against Trump is actually a coup against the people who want America to be great again.

Hey, Shivani! Come talk to me. I have a GREAT deal of direct experience with the immigration system.

It’s the opposite. The Democrats should be joining Trump on immigration if they want to win.

Yep, but too late. What these stupid White (and Black) Democrats didn't realize is yeah sure these immigrants will vote Democratic, but they won't vote for them. They aren't going to let Whites rule them and will insist on one of their own.

So once the old White Baby boomer Liberal in office dies or retires, that's it, no more YT (Especially White Males).

Bernie, O'Mailey, Webb, Mario Jr, Biden, Warren are kidding themselves if they ever think Blacks, Hispanics or Muslims will ever vote for them in a primary over one of their own. It's a fellow minority or they stay home and you lose the election.

White Democrats all but disenfranchised themselves. Morons all of them.

"Salon writer Anis Shivani"

Having read the seditious excerpt of this Communist anarchist's spiel, I think I shall call him, Anus.

Open borders is a good way to get foreigners killed. Because at some point, the American people will defend their country.

See my tagline...

"When EVERY OTHER COUNTRY erases its borders and allows people to come and go freely with no border checks,"

Haven't Germany, France, Belgium and Sweden done this already?

A more arrogant, superior-looking, anti-American mug can only be found on Barack Obama.
