Tulsi Gabbard: ‘I Don’t Support Open Borders … Without Secure Borders, We Don’t Have a Country’
Breitbart ^ | September 9, 2019 | John Binder

Posted on 09/09/2019 7:52:42 PM PDT by KC_Lion

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.

Could it be that sanity is breaking out in the Rat Party?

Preach it, Tulsi!
The Dems are not used to hearing one of their own talk that way.

She’s the smartest one out there. She’s not “me too!”. She actually says things that will appeal to the center. But she’s a lib.

Give it a couple of days. She’ll “clarify” her comments. By which I mean she’ll say she never heard herself say that.

“...Preach it, Tulsi! The Dems are not used to hearing one of their own talk that way....”
Which is why she was dis-invited from any future debates. Too much common sense, too much reality.....just too much Americanism for the communist party.

She outright said we need to protect our borders and it would be wise to build a wall.

Shocked!... I'm shocked, I tell ya...

However, before I can accept it as the "truth", I'll have give her a thorough mental and physical examination...

She stole that line from Trump.

She never would have made it past the debates anyway. She is fairly attractive...on the democrat scale almost a 10. 6-7 if she was republican. Nothing triggers seething hatred in democrats more than a woman that looks female.

She seems to be positioning herself as the moderate in a sea of lunatics. I think it’s smart. Obviously way too lib for me I’d never vote for her. Still she is coming across more and more as somewhat still attached to earth.

Nope, they’re excluding her from the debates because she doesn’t have the right numbers from the right Democrat-approved polls.

Trust her 10000000 times more than that uniparty Romney person and fake, Nikki Haley.
