As far as open borders go I'm the product of an open boarder. My issue is with the mentality of those currently crossing the border. Do they want to strengthen America or undermine it? Do they want to work hard and get ahead or do they want a bunch of free stuff? Do they understand the promise of America or do they want to foster the same ideals and traditions that made their own country a piece of crap? When so many fellow veterans are struggling and out of work how can we justify allowing an open border. And if that is a two way street, why is there a Marine sitting in a Mexican jail right now?
People crossing the border are like everyone else. They want as much as they can get. Who wouldn't?
If you want to sell a car, do you want as much as the car is worth, and no more? Or do you want as much as you can get for it?
The answer, of course, is the second one. It's one of the basic laws of economics.
Do you think the government is giving people too much "free" stuff? Well, don't blame them for taking it. Blame the government for giving it to them.
Onward and upward,
