Open Borders. Are you a True Believer?

I know that those who are still watching those media insurgency channels like CNN and MSNBC are convinced that nationalism is bad, borders are the problem, and that there is no difference between immigration and illegal immigration because a person can’t be illegal. That’s fine if you want to believe what you want to believe. Last I heard, it’s a free country for most of us.

I’m waiting for the day when these people will protest some of the actual problems in the world like human trafficking, female genital mutilation, terror, extreme gang violence. I also wonder when they will arm themselves with some facts about racism and xenophobia, etc. and get their argument right. Because those things do exist and they are a problem.

The good news, for those of us who don’t want America destroyed from within, is that these people are the minority. You wouldn’t know it if you passively “watch the news” and consider yourself informed. They are bashing President Trump, his policies, and our great nation and if you lose perspective and your grip on reality you may get the feeling that most American citizens believe all the racist, fascist, xenophobe accusations.

I could attempt to explain how liberal socialist policies are racist based on how the lives of minorities are so brutally, negatively affected in places where liberal policies have been in place for decades. Take a look at places like Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, and the shining shitty on the hill, San Francisco. But, I think most people understand.

I want to address the people who are somehow convinced that nationalism is a terrible thing. It makes me wonder – when these people go to a sporting event, do they root for the visiting team?

Have they thought about it and decided that they truly know what nationalism is and that they have a well thought out reason to be against it? I say no. I think it starts with their refusal to acknowledge that an immigrant can be an illegal immigrant. They act like anybody who wants border security and wants the laws of our nation enforced hates immigrants. That’s a ridiculous leap to make, but leap they do.

If you want unlimited immigration, you want the border to be wide open. I’ll make this as simple as I can.

1. You are in favor of an open border. You live in a house or an apartment. Do you lock your doors and windows at night when you go to sleep? Why or why not?

2. To take it a step further, if you leave your doors and windows unlocked, do you leave them opened or closed? Why or why not?

Wait. There’s more.

3. If you leave your doors unlocked and opened and your windows unlocked and opened, do you put a sign on your lawn that lets everybody know they are free to come into your house through any door or any window?

We live in a country where some people who want to leave all the windows and doors open on our country’s border and make sure the world knows they can jump the line ahead of all the other immigrants who are waiting to enter legally.

Why do they want this? Who knows? Ask them, but good luck getting an actual answer. I’m guessing they want to bring in people who are more likely to vote a certain way and they view these people as tools in the toolkit of political power.

I’m disgusted by anybody who does this or supports the idea. I say that only because I have never had someone who supports the idea tell me why they support it. They just do. My guess is that they are buying the propaganda and are following the liberal crowd.

But, my mind is opened on this. If somebody who supports this policy is willing to engage in a civil discussion where we are both armed with factual facts, I would love to have that conversation. I’d love to record it on video or audio and make it available to the world.
