There was some chatter here that I saw that has probably been moved to Bob's page.
One of Bob's main points was that if you are against Open Borders, or immigration in general, then you are a racist.
This is a commonplace liberal theme nowadays. It is meant to prevent people from saying that the current situation (we currently have a basically Open Border) is horrible, by labeling them racists if they say so.
First off, what is wanted is a SECURE border. Not a closed border.
Immigration has always been part of the foundation of the USA, and it should continue to be so. You should be able to come here, so long as you want to come here and work to provide a better situation for yourself and your family, and you are law-abiding and healthy.
It used to be that people were screened for criminality and for infectious diseases before they could enter the United States. This is what Ellis Island was for. People had various community/ethnic support groups that could help them, but in the end, it was up to them to make it here. Many couldn't, and so they went back to their places of origin. (Little known fact is that in the later 1800s, roughly a quarter of immigrants that came to the US later went back home).
The vast majority of us (and that includes ethnic minorities) want the Border to be SECURE. That means that people are screened. Screened for criminality, screened for links to terrorism, and even screened for highly dangerous diseases. Right now we are doing none of this.
People should be allowed to come to the USA, but if they cannot make it on their own, say after 6 months, then they need to go back to where they came from. Just like what happened in the past. We CANNOT afford to pay $60K per year per person for non-productive lay-abouts from foreign countries. That is what these people cost.
Liberals evidently have no concern about money, we can just create more of it they think. This is why we have a $35 Trillion national debt. They don't think this is a disaster because nothing super bad has happened yet (it actually has, this is the root cause of our current sputtering economy, inflation, and the inability of the youth to be on track to attain their parent's lifestyle). BTW, it will cause truly bad things to happen.
Additionally, corporate America has been allowed to use illegal immigrants as slave-wage laborers for too long. So there is blame there too.
It won't be long before we have to deal with the security repercussions of the open borders. Terrorists and CCP agents and agitators are flocking in, blending in with those that come here in hope of a better life, and those who come thinking current Americans should just hand it to them without any effort made on their part. The truly bad guys are just waiting for the signal from their overlords.
