Yes, the Democrats Are for Open Borders

Although Democrats routinely deny that they're for open borders — dismissing the very suggestion as an outrageous slur — their reaction to Sunday's violence by some of the Central American illegal aliens in Tijuana suggests otherwise.

If Democrats criticize DHS for trying to prevent storming of the border, and for responding to attacks on its agents with non-lethal crowd-control measures like tear gas, then what border-control measures can they possibly be for?

The border clash was the culmination of a series of policy choices by Democrats over the past several years, asymptotically approaching open borders. Although things are lousy in Central America, it was the Obama administration's reaction to illegal immigration from there that created this flow. By releasing into the United States Central Americans bringing children with them, as well as releasing "unaccompanied" "minors" from Central America who were brought here by smugglers hired by their relatives in the United States, the prior administration created a powerful incentive to head north.

As a Salvadoran illegal alien who was released by the Border Patrol after crossing into Texas told my colleague Jerry Kammer in 2014: "We were watching CNN, and they were saying that the United States was giving opportunities to women with children. And since some neighbors of ours had come, we decided to try it."

The ruse these illegal immigrants have been using to get released is an asylum claim. Even though the vast majority of the claims are clearly without merit (and half of those released in order to pursue their applications never bother to follow through), the Left, both in and out of government, has encouraged their filing, and the prolongation of cases.

Having incentivized the flow of Central American asylum seekers, the Democrats then opposed all the steps needed to prevent asylum from being used as a strategy for illegal immigration — such as amending the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, overturning the Flores Settlement, raising the bar for a "credible fear" claim (the first hurdle in the asylum process), and funding more detention beds.

And the incentives for bogus asylum claims come within the larger context of the Democrats challenging the very idea of enforcing immigration laws. Long before #AbolishICE became a rallying cry for the party's socialist wing, Democratic bigwigs have been saying that no illegal alien should ever be sent home merely because he snuck into the country or overstayed a visa. Nancy Pelosi in 2013 put it very clearly: "If somebody is here without sufficient documentation, that is not reason for deportation." Hillary Clinton said much the same during one of the 2016 primary debates: "Of the people, the undocumented people living in our country, I do not want to see them deported." Likewise with Bernie Sanders, at the same debate; in response to Jorge Ramos's question, "And can you promise not to deport immigrants who don't have a criminal record?" Sanders answered, "I can make that promise."

If you will an end, you must will the means to that end. The Democrats have demonstrated that there are no means to achieve the goal of controlled immigration that they are willing to support — not border control to keep unauthorized people from barging in, and not deportation of those who manage to get past the notional borders. For a pedant, that may not qualify as "open borders", in the sense that national frontiers would be completely unmonitored, merely jurisdictional markers showing who picks up the garbage on which side of the line. But it's good enough for government work

i'm going to tell you this one more time you inbred dumb fuck. read this several times, slowly if necessary..... 

my views on the border have not changed. i want them patrolled, fenced, monitored with drones, etc. christ if a portion of it needs a traditional wall, by all means do it.

that is NOT what trump wanted. he wants a solid wall across the entire border, and he wanted mexico to pay for it. i feel it is a waste of time, money, and will continue to be a money pit going forward. it will also not solve the vast majority of illegal immigration, drugs, or any other "emergency" trumps thinks of.

now fuck off with all the lame talking points. i'm done with you on this topic.

:finger:

Just curious.. How do illegals vote? I dont see how it is possible where I live so how is this happening? 

It isn't possible. Sure one could really do a lot of legwork and find a dead due that is still on voter reg rolls. Then get an id in their name. Then risk getting tossed out of the country for something that had virtually no personal gain to one doing it. It isn't happening.

People do vote sometimes in 2 places . Others vote where some feel they shouldn't. But those are American citizens .
