The main problem with this is that closed borders is a fairly recent invention. The Russians undar Czar Nicholas tried to close their borders to poltical agitators. Passports were instituted. Prior to this people moved fairly freely about Europe, granted that it was herder to move around back then.

This idea of passports and visas was a stupid idea that simply did not work. Since it is a stupid unworkable idea most governments immediately adopted it. This system has never thwarted an invasion or even daunted those who export violence.

Closed borders? Look at the countries that have tried it. Do we really want that sort of fascist/socialist state here?

The other problem though is our social welfare system is also fairly recent, free food and healthcare and housing is bound to attract many of the wrong types.

The US had closed borders from 1924-1965, and we were a hell of a lot less fascist/socialist during that time than we are now.

Unchecked immigration is guaranteed to give us national socialism delivered through the democrat's well oiled vote fraud machinery. Call the solution a closed border, or a closed society, this invasion has to be repelled or we're done for.
