The Cato Institute, a think tank partially founded by the billionaire, pro-mass immigration Koch brothers, is advocating for full open borders to the United States. In an op-ed for USA Today, the Cato Institute’s Director of Economic Studies, Jeffrey Miron, says the U.S. “has nothing to fear, and much to gain, from open borders,” saying that Americans should “forget” about putting a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration.
Miron downplayed the negative impact open borders would have on American citizens, writing:
Immigrants will not flood into America, although the rate of immigration might increase. Instead, much of the immigration will be temporary. Return migration happens because most people want to be near their families, surrounded by their own language, culture or religion.
…
Crime will not skyrocket. Available evidence shows that immigrants are no more crime-prone than natives. And the additional immigrants likely to enter under open borders would plausibly be even less so, because they have shown respect for the law by not immigrating illegally.

And it’s time for someone to have an IRS audit....
Just like Obama thought of his opponents.
Charles lives inside a walled city block in Wichita.
Don’t try to walk up the driveway...
Does Cato really think that third world immigrants are going to vote libertarian? Or are they going to vote for redistribution? Knee-jerk libertarianism is a suicide pact.
“Instead, much of the immigration will be temporary.”
The trick is to hold up that banner to block everyone’s view long enough to get them all registered to vote, and then it is over.
these people are traitors, and should suffer their fate.
are you kidding?! No, it’s not time for that. Build a wall!
Open borders, zero taxes. As long as the rich bitches want open borders, people with a net worth of less than one million dollars should no longer pay taxes. ANY TAXES. Let the rich, bitch elitists pay for the world’s freeloaders. “F” them. When did CATO decide to go full retard/commie? Also, any friggin’ politician that even once dares to utter the word “poverty” will be taken out and strung up. Open borders will end all “poverty” so Americans don’t want to hear their “poverty” bull**** anymore.
They told us that Ted Kenney’s little immigration bill wouldn’t cause a demographic change in America, too.
Their lies do not compute.
Put them all in Jeffrey Miron’s house.
This boy, Miron, is either severely retarded, does a lot of "recreational drugs" or doesn't pay any attention to reality. They are bringing, their families, language, culture and religion with them B*TCH. Geez. What planet does this clown live on?
Yeah, and pigs fly, while the cows jump over the moon. Fricking idiot needs to be deported along with the Koch brothers, after redistributing their wealth & assets.
they fear us
The problem isn’t really illegal immigration. The problem is massive, unvetted, unassimilable immigration.
End chain migration, end birthright citizenship, end easy citizenship for legal immigrants. No amnesty, and relentless deportation.
Fixed it.
Fixed, round 2.
I guess these idiots at CATO haven’t ever seen what happens when you blow up the dam. If they would take a short walk into southern California they would find the homeless camps that house families that can’t get a job, can’t afford a home, and can’t even find the funds to go back. They are trapped in their own “dreams of freedoms” they would never have considered to be happening as they were fed the BS about the land of plenty that for them is even less than they had. There ain’t plenty, there ain’t enough. And that includes enough to give to them for free to just survive. And they are allowed here to do nothing but vote. Except for that, they are trapped in their own squalor. And told they should like it.

If we don’t need borders...Then we don’t need a Government...Then shut it down Mr. President.
