Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) derided her fellow Democratic presidential candidates during a recent interview for embracing permissive immigration policies, accusing them of support for open borders.
Asked if she believes open borders is a fair descriptor of the positions embraced by her Democratic primary opponents, Gabbard told YouTube host Dave Rubin that it was an accurate label and dismissed the oft-repeated Democratic rejoinder that conservatives use the phrase to tar their political adversaries.
I dont support open borders. Without secure borders, we dont really have a country, she said. And while some of the other Democratic candidates will say well, open borders thats a conservative argument and thats not really whats being advocated for if you look at the practical implications of some of the things theyre advocating for, it is essentially open borders.

I hope Melania can find Barron a good high school in the Washington area because it looks like they’re going to be there awhile.
Shes right... Open Borders is now official RAT doctrine. Maybe they can open their 2020 convention by playing The Internationale?
I thought they already did.
Before jumping on her bandwagon, look as her On The Issues:
https://www.ontheissues.org/Tulsi_Gabbard.htm
She’s trying to take on the Hickenlooper role of I’m a Democrat but not totally insane. She’ll probably meet the same fate.
Never trust a Rat.
If that is your only issue with the ‘rats, Tulsi, you are a BIG MESS. You don’t know and don’t know that you don’t know. Catch the next wave into oblivion. IDIOT.
But she has not said she is AGAINST OPEN BORDERS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION (as a RAT candidate). (chuckle)
The rest of the GOP field in 2016 was the same way.
Rubio only voted for ONE amnesty, Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted for amnesty THREE times.
Until the hostile takeover of the GOP by Donald Trump, the GOP had the exact same policy.
Sanctuary cities? Abolish ICE? I don't think so.
And though I don't want to say it, how much has Trump actually changed.
(Dem memo) She is not totally insane. Keep her out of the debates.
They are just out in the open now about how they plan on doing that.
Right, stone her because she is (a) anti-regime change, senseless wars (ala Libya, Syria, Iraq-2), (b) she is pro military and in the military, (c) she is hot, (d) she is Hindu
Kick her off the rat farm.
She is not for the 2A, wants rifle bans, etc. No way do I trust her.
She's really the canary in the coal mine for the radicalization of the Dems. She's female, a war vet, attractive, well-spoken, and liberal on most social/economic issues. She should be the perfect candidate for them. But she's polling at only 1-2%.
She's unacceptable to that party because of their obsession with intersectionality -- the idea that every minority interest group/subgroup must support the agenda of every other subgroup, even if their agenda seems completely unrelated. So because she's against illegal immigration, she is out. Dissent on even one of those issues is a disqualifier.
The Democrat Party is controlled lock, stock, and barrel by the hard left.
Even though I strongly disagree with her on most issues, she is awfully nice to look at.
Not like that bowser Fauxcahontis.
I’m trying not to be too cynical about Rep. Gabbard, if for no other reason than there simply has to be a small group of what I call “old-fashioned liberals” who might constitute the core of a loyal opposition ... after we send the mental patients to exile in Greenland.
I dont support open borders.”
Well there’s a rarity...a semi-hot/ attractive democrat woman with a couple of molecules of brain tissue. Fatally flawed though...still a democrat.
