However, now I am beginning to hear reports of Congressmen supporting the notion of no borders.
Let me explain my dilemma.
The constitutional function of Congress is Federal Government Legislation.
The Constitution guaranteed to each state a Republican Form of Government.
That means that ever state has the power of State Government Legislation.
An American president’s job is to enforce legislation from Congress that passed into law. Legislation passed into law implies jurisdiction.
Legislation with Borders (Constitutional) vs. Legislation without Borders (Unconstitutional).
What is the jurisdiction of legislation passed by Congress AS IF America has no borders?
Answer: NONE!!!
Legally speaking, you'd think it would be defined by the perimeter of the House Chamber within the District of Columbia. Half-acre at most?
They will claim the US has borders but that anyone and everyone can walk across that border and come in. Just like anyone can walk across a city limit border.
You and I do not see that as a border. However the left is perfectly capable of believing in ridiculous concepts. The left is just getting started. They will push for international laws that allow people to easily move across borders as the preview for a true one world governmnet.
Universal? Or nil?
Without Borders is a concept that is being discussed in many fields.
This used to be the Libertarian position.
Ranked high amongst the many, many things I love about Trump is the way he is forcing the left to expose their real positions on things. For the left, immigration laws violate human rights, in the same way that Jim Crow laws once did. It’s an absurd position true, but you can’t understand the left until you understand this. All discussion of which policy would be better for America, or whether people coming across the border illegally bear any responsibility for what happens next are irrelevant, or whether America has a right to create and enforce its own laws are irrelevant. All people have a right to live wherever they please, and enjoy the full benefits of enjoyed by any other resident of that place. I think about 5% of America would actually agree with that, but that’s the left’s position. Have at it!
No borders = no country
