Open borders are the only path to defeating President Donald Trump, a Salon writer claims.
In a piece titled Everyones 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 dont 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 countrys budget to a households). 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.

Shivani, the mediocre poet, left-wing scold and political gadfly you quote, has a list of writers that he condemns for their mediocrity.

Five will get you ten that you have never heard of three of them.

Some say potato, some say ...from time to time I’ll drop some grammatical error or misspelling on purpose to give folks here something to do.
It’s 1984 every year, year after year.
It was working for Dems before Trump became president.
