The Democrats want our borders wide open! Democrats believe that by allowing into our country countless numbers of illegal aliens, it will be a surefire route to gain more votes in hopes of acquiring an excessive amount of political power. Their endgame is to make sure Republicans never again control the Executive Branch, the House or the Senate. The Democrats will then be able to institute their utopian ideology of socialism—which has never worked any time in recorded history—and, for all practical purposes, they would do away with the First and Second Amendments, along with the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Basically, they will gut the Bill of Rights and eviscerate the American Dream.
Then we have stark libertarians like Jacob G. Hornberger, The Future of Freedom Foundation (www.fff.org), who are putting on an online conference titled, The Case for Open Borders. I consider myself to be a Jeffersonian-Libertarian, with common sense. Both socialism and libertarianism are extreme ideologies which have never worked and due to human nature, will never work. The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) has been around for 35 years. FFFs extreme positions, without any practical compromise, have not advanced freedom in the United States. On the contrary, freedom has been significantly curtailed over the past 35 years!
Dr. Milton Freidman (1912-2006), Nobel Prize winning economist (1976), in 1999 stated, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.” Dr. Freidman “argued that a country with open borders and access to generous welfare provisions would become a haven for poor migrants which would place a significant burden on the host country,” exactly what the United States is experiencing today.
In addition to Dr. Freidman’s position against open borders because of the United States welfare system, I would add several other reasons for eliminating the open border policies: (1) Terrorists that want to destroy the United States and murder as many citizens as possible; (2) criminals and criminal gangs that want to establish operations and harm United States citizens; (3) Drug trafficking; (4) Women and children being sold into sex slavery and slave labor; and (5) Illegal Aliens that want to retain their own customs and do not want to assimilate and adopt our American way of life.
It's worth repeating, the crisis at the border is a direct result of the Biden-Harris Administration. As a result of the inaction of Border Czar Kamala Harris, 20 million illegal aliens have entered the United States over the past 3 ½ plus years. At least 13,099 are murders, 15,811 are rapists, and 425,431 are convicted criminals. In addition, 350 terrorists have been released into the United States and 325,000 unaccompanied minors are missing. Under the parole program implemented by Biden-Harris, 30,000 people a month—from countries like Venezuela and Haiti who cannot be properly vetted— are being flown into the United States, at Taxpayer expense, and dumped all over the country in places like Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio. As of this writing, it is estimated that 597,000 unvetted illegal aliens have been flown into the United States under the Biden-Harris parole program.
President Trump supports a secure border and deportation of illegal aliens starting with criminals and terrorists; the border was secure under Trump, and he will do it again. Also, if you like less regulation, lower taxes, lower consumer prices and lower energy costs (“drill baby, drill”), vote for Trump and the Republicans!
As the richest man in the world and definitely one of the most intelligent, Elon Musk, has stated, “If Trump doesn’t win this election, it’s the last election we’re going to have.” Please heed Elon Musk’s warning.
