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.

She wants “universal” health care (government issued, of course) and supports all kinds of new gay/transgender rights. But because she’s not exactly a candidate for the kennel club (although I have my doubts even about that), lots of male freepers are hot for her.
Dear Tulsi, you will never again grace the demonicrat debate stage, We have rigged it to be so.
Thanks for playing.
Sincerely,
The DNC
Are there any Republicans in the HI legislature? I thought there were one or two.
Say one thing and do another later.
Typical dim.
No trust.
“She stole that line from Trump.”
Tulsi sure did and with the Rats ejecting her for taking down Mistress Kamala, this is her parting shot.”
Smell a slight odor of an independent run. Let’s see.

Are you reading the posts on this thread? Led by KC Lion, who I used to have respect for, baby killing, LBGTQ agenda loving, God mocking Gabbard would take more votes from Trump than from the democrat candidate. Guys, she's not going to go out with you if you speak respectfully about her. And if you actually see a photo of her without an inch of pancake make-up, you'll see that she ain't quite as ‘hot’ as you think she is.
You totally missed my point but hey it’s a free country.
No wonder Demonicrats drummed her out.
“NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT.”
Much truth to your statement. She has approving remarks here on FR because she’s nice looking and has a military background.
If she had a hot dance video like Cortez, that would be posted several times along with the comments.
With regards to a military career, so did Prez Carter.
With regards to her being a centrist, that’s what Prez Clinton was supposed to be.
(Barf Alert) Now to make you gag, many women thought obama was good looking.
There are so many false perceptions, like you said: “NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT.”
No, she wasn't on the debate stage that night.
Well that’s all for her then.
That statement has surely earned her an ejection from the Democrat Party. Within five years she’ll either be a Republican or out of politics.
She’ll “correct” herself later and claim she meant to keep the illegal aliens safe inside our borders.
Did you forget to get your medication refilled?
No, you totally missed my point. The posters here like Gabbard. And if posters here like her, other fake Republicans will love her and vote for her if they find Trump a little bit offsetting. But Democrats will never vote for her if it means Trump getting elected. The point is, she will take more votes from Trump than the Dem candidate.
No.
She's going places, but not until after the realignment.
Whatever, Gabbard is a 1% er like Gillibrand. She should go home to Hawaii and knock some sense into that gawd awful Mazie Hirono
I’m sure Tulsi really feels this way. Problem is once she is elected president the liberal swamp will force her to do whatever they want. Same way with Amy McGrath who is running against McConnell in KY. McGrath made a comment that she would have supported Kavenaugh. Within hours she had to change her “opinion” because of pressure from media and DC swamp donors. She (and Tulsi) would both make pretty conservative democratic state governors. But the DC establishment is too strong.
Calling our President and his supporters racist will appeal to the mushy middle? She’s fos but plays a good act
What’s the over/under on her withdrawal from the race? I’ll take 3 days...
I didnt say Trump should *give* her a position.
If he *offered* her one, & went thru the motions of discussing the possibility he could, in a very Trumpian fashion:
1.call her bluff 2.blow a lot of MSM minds, forcing THEM to acknowledge there are even DEMOCRATS who don’t want wide open borders 2.focus on other *issues* of real concern & 3. get the attention of #walkaway Democrats & nudge their votes our way.
My medication is fine. Thanks for your concern.
