Tulsi Gabbard: ‘I Don’t Support Open Borders … Without Secure Borders, We Don’t Have a Country’
Breitbart ^ | September 9, 2019 | John Binder

Posted on 09/09/2019 7:52:42 PM PDT by KC_Lion

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), running for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, says she opposes open borders and plans pushed by fellow Democrat candidates that are “essentially open borders.”

During an interview with Dave Rubin, Gabbard said that unlike some of her Democrat colleagues, she opposes open borders and the agenda to invite the world’s migrants to the United States through various incentives.

The interview went as follows:

RUBIN: So immigration, I think there’s a general sense that the candidates, the Democrats are basically trying to outdo each other for open borders, something like that … do you think that’s a fair way to start the question and … where do you sit on that?

GABBARD: I think it’s fair … I don’t, I don’t support open borders. Without secure borders, we don’t really have a country. And while some of the other Democratic candidates will say, ‘Well, open borders, that’s a conservative argument and that’s not really what’s being advocated for,’ if you look at some of the practical implications of some of the things they are pushing for, it is essentially open borders.

I think there are a few things we got to do when we’re talking about immigration reform. One is we’ve got to have secure borders. This is not Trump’s wall from sea to shining sea. It’s about seeing again what makes sense. I look at things from a practical, objective-oriented standpoint; I’m a soldier. So I look at, secure the borders, what’s our objective. In some places, it may make the most sense to have a wall or some kind of other physical barriers in place; in other places it won’t make sense. So you use technology and you use all the other tools that you have ultimately to accomplish that objective of security at the borders.

But the bottom line is, if she were somehow elected, her Administration would be full of people who do support open borders.

I don't think she is allowed in the debates anymore, so no one will see her.

Think I saw a story that due to mainstream media putting her "on the back burner" she is thinking of a 3rd party run or "independent"...she could be a Dem "Perot"....siphon off votes from Beiden/Warren, etc..

Trump should offer her a cabinet or other high level post.
He should do it now.
Seriously.

She’s either stupid to believe that she won’t be repeatedly stabbed by the underhanded Democrats or incredibly naive. If she had sense she’d throw them overboard before they drown her and her campaign. She’s a surfer I suppose and home waters are full of sharks.

She outright said we need to protect our borders and it would be wise to build a wall.

Colonel M'Bugaboo from Nigeria said he was going to put ten million dollars into my checking account.

She got intellectually hammered by the people in her reserve unit. Unable to defend her previous position, she has come around on the border.

Instead, she supports unregulated, unlimited immigration from third world countries only into the United States. See folks, leftists lie, they conflate, they twist words...in short, they are completely untrustworthy.

Never support them. Never help them. Never vote for them.

There are Republicans who belong in the Dem party more than Tulsi Gabbard does.

She has two choices: try to be more Left than the rest, or go for being the only rational moderate. She CAN’T be more Left than Warren and Bernie, so this is her only option.

I don’t trust her but would support her running as an independent taking votes away from the left wing extremist Democratic Party.

Tulsi may outlast them all. When only four or five Dem front runners are left, and American democrat voters, as dunderheaded and confused as they are, but not as radical as their leadership, realizes they are looking any one of a number of uncharismatic loons, losers and America haters, they may finally glance at Tulsi, and by then there will be a track record of all the semi sane things she's said.

This go around she's probably still too much of a lightweight, but in 4 years ... well worse things could happen to the democrats than Tulsi, and given that the country at least for the foreseeable future is going to have a Democrat party ... worse things could happen to the country. She's probably our least worst option. I.e. if you're going to get cancer and there's no way around it, this is the one you'd pick.

Yeah! And her universal health care ideas and gay rights/transgender advocacy make her a natural for Free Republic!
