'Completely open borders are inevitable,' predicts UK Labour's John McDonnell
UK Daily Mail ^ | Jan. 31, 2016 | Tim Sculthorpe

Completely open borders allowing unfettered migration around the world are 'inevitable', shadow chancellor John McDonnell claimed today.

During an interview about the migrant crisis facing Europe, which could see more than a million people try to cross its borders this year, Mr McDonnell said the movement of people around the globe would render border controls 'irrelevant'.

The shadow chancellor, a crucial close ally of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, said conflict, poverty and climate change would drive mass migration of people around the world.

He told the BBC Sunday Politics: 'The movement of peoples across the globe will mean that borders are almost going to become irrelevant by the end of this century, so we should be preparing for that and explain why people move.

'In our policy making, as politicians, we should be working now to see how we address that because it will mean that we need to look at how we resolve conflicts, how we make the world more equal and also how we tackle climate change. In that way in that way we can deal with the reality of the world which means that people aren’t forced to move but there will be movement.'

Pressed on whether he meant totally open borders, he said: 'I think at the end of this century that’s what will occur. We’re seeing people ignoring borders already as they fly from Syria.'

So far it’s give of Moslem terrorists and gang- rapists ( see Koran!). Where will decent civilized people have available to move when the Moslems finish conquering USA, Canada, U.K., and most of Europe? How many of us can fit on Pitcairn island ( I guess antartica’s got plenty of room for us?)

This ignorant man speaks with many decades of the debt, fiat-money-funded nanny state behind him, as if it existed forever, and will continue forever into the future.

Imagine an America where they Government had to compete with citizens for money? Where they could not create money and debt out of nowhere, and could not manipulate interest rates? The welfare state, the “borderless state,” and debt-serfdom of the middle class could not exist.

Dumb A. McDonnell.

When borders are completely open, they are no longer borders, you ditz! And then your nation is no longer a nation.

“conflict, poverty and climate change would drive mass migration of people around the world.”

Unlike the good old days when there was no conflict, poverty or climate change. When were those? I forget.

I don’t see China and India going along with open borders. Nor Japan or a host of other countries.

It’s only the west and its cabal of suicidal “can’t touch this” idiots who back it.

He left out the part about that meaning a complete collapse of the welfare state in the advanced industrial countries — and a collapse in wages as well.

So what kind of border can I have?

Can I/we have one around my town?

Can I have one around my house?

Or should someone else set up a border around my house?

Maybe that’s fine with England but NOT here in the U.S., we don’t need any additional outsiders, at least until we have taken care of our own people. Its time the U.S. stopped being foster parents for the world.

Open borders means the death of the nation-state, and this is the goal of the global socialist elite who yearn for a one-world government where they are in charge.

These transnational leftists are hurrying to flood the western nations with uneducated third-worlders so as to disenfranchise the natives.

Mr. Mcdonnell...you f--king idiot...You are in England. You have a tunnel and a large body of water and an airport or two. THAT is how they get in. ALL of these ways are easily controlled; much more so than the rest of land locked Europe.

Something tells me you are on the side thatwants this to happen. I hope they roast you alive over a fire last, so you can see the complete damage people like you have done.

We could have avoided World War II if the Poles had just welcomed the Germans.

This man is a clown to the left of Lenin. Best known for publicly supporting and even thanking the IRA, and calling for the death of Thatcher.
