The problem with open boarders is vast.

1. Your enemy will come in and be amoung you.
2. Your enemy will come in and take over you
3. Your enemy will come in and destroy you

we see this in Europe with the mass protests agaianst the west and its values as well as christian values..

people ask how our 4 pro Palestinian anti Israel senators got into power. its easy, Immigration
I agree, the enemy is already within !

Here is one of Hindu faith I hope NEVER gets office of the presidentcy.The Muslim was enough !

Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy
(born August 9, 1985) is an American entrepreneur and presidential candidate. He founded Roivant Sciences, a pharmaceutical
( part of big pharma ?)
company, in 2014. In February 2023, Ramaswamy declared his candidacy for the Republican
Party nomination in the 2024.

Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indian Hindu immigrant parents.His parents are Tamil-speaking Brahmins from Kerala. His parents immigrated from Palakkad district in Kerala, where the family had an ancestral home in a traditional agraharam in the town.

In May 2023, Ramaswamy's campaign admitted that he had paid an editor to alter his Wikipedia biography before announcing his candidacy but denied that the payment for edits was politically motivated.
The edits to the Wikipedia biography removed references to Ramaswamy's postgraduate fellowship from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, as well as his involvement with the Ohio COVID- 19 Response Team.
( A liar hides things he doesn't want known )

During his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Ramaswamy has sought to appeal to evangelical Christian right and Christian nationalist voters, an important part of the Republican base, some of whom are reluctant or unwilling to support a non-Christian presidential candidate such as Ramaswamy, who is Hindu.
In campaign stops and interviews, Ramaswamy has criticized secularism, saying that the U.S. was founded on Christian values or Judeo-Christian values; that he shares those and that he believes values; believes in one God .
( How does this work since he is Hindu?)

Wikipedia has a page on his politics.

All our ancestors have come via immigration, unless on is from indigenous ancestry.

It must be done by law and transparency, not in small boats of stupidity !

The thousands of immigrants living in the US is a good thing for the USA.


They support our economy. They fill the void in our labor needs.
Try telling that to New York City, Chicago, Baltimore, and all those other cities that are spending billions of dollars paying for those illegal immigrants that have come in since Biden took office.
While the broader picture looks bleak, the rate of unemployment has hit some of its lowest levels in American history, a remarkable recovery from the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic which left near-record numbers of people jobless.
Fact Check: Is U.S. Unemployment Rate Lowest in 50 Years?
You obviously do not know and understand how the rate of unemployment is calculated. The non-working illegal immigrants aren't even counted in the unemployment rate. They are a parasite on the system. Regardless of the low unemployment rate, the labor force participation rate — the share of working-age (16-64) people holding a job or looking for one — remains near historic lows. And that doesn't even include the ones who have quit looking for a job.
The above does not even take into account the taxes they will add to our economy, from social security to Medicare, city and local taxes as well.

Wake up, open your eyes, immigrants are good thing no matter what the republicons are telling you.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Almost none, if any, of those illegal immigrants that have come into the country since Biden became president even have social security numbers. If they work at all, it will be nearly 100% under the table. They will pay nothing toward social security. If they do manage to work and pick up a few bucks, they will pay whatever local sales tax exists on what they buy but that is it.

You are the one who needs to open your eyes.

2023 Federation of American Immigration Reform Report- key facts:
  • At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.

  • FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal aliens – just under $32 billion – from the gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion.

  • In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion. In just 5 years, the cost to Americans has increased by nearly $35 billion.

  • Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens).

  • Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.

  • Evidence shows that tax payments by illegal aliens cover only around a sixth of the costs they create at all levels in this country.

  • A large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.
  • Many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.] (** But here we are at the end of 2023 with the numbers escalating to 10 million in just 3 years. The costs will soon double that early figure!)

It’s amazing what comes from the uniformed.

The majority of agriculture needs has been handled by green card holders for decades.

Someone is displaced by illiterate, uneducated, unskilled employees.

Seems like the Democrat Party is now telling the Civil War Slaves. “Thanks the years following our lies, you’re being replaced by a dumber population.”

This is the bragging rights from the OP’s slave masters.

We have a shortage of over two million engineers each year. I’ll bet not one is a future swimmer in the Rio Grande.

Anyone have an account of the cost state by state? Who exactly voted for Communists to tear up the Constitution in America?

Illegal aliens were lined up for blocks to receive free (taxpayer-funded) housing in New York City.

Tens of thousands of illegal aliens have flooded New York City, a proud sanctuary city.

The illegals are taking over hotels, schools and homeless shelters.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently complained that 50% of the city’s hotel rooms are now occupied by illegal migrants.

Yes, it was great for the Roman Empire too, as the Germanic Visigoths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Franks, Ostrogoths tribes took turns crossing over into the Empire, and they took the jobs nobody wanted, pillaging, plundering and raiding, so it was all ok. I think it falls under the saying, “Those Who Fail to Learn from History Are Doomed To Repeat It.” Everything has to be done with good order and proper way or it can cause world shaking issues to say the least..

Immigration is good in some ways. But it must be controlled. Border security is a must if the US is to survive as a nation.

Meaning our population growth needs to come from live births from young couples.

And currently the USA is not doing that. Currently the USA is at a net loss of live births to old age/deceased.

The USA can't afford abortion, LGBTQ, or even birth control if it wishes to maintain its unique cultural norms.

It's a numbers game....and the USA is evaporating. Otherwise the same cultures that cause impoverished nations will dominate the USA and it too will become like the nations that populated it.

The men kicked and punched the officers in the head and body, video released by police shows. The men live at migrant shelters in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, police sources said. About 67,000 migrants total are in the city’s care. The New York Post reported four suspects were arrested and released with no bail, including a repeat offender. Biden's America is an absolute disgrace!

Legal immigration is one reason why the United States has been such a successful country. However, everyone recognizes that illegal immigration isn’t good for America whether it’s Democrats or Republicans. Admittedly it’s easy to feel sorry for people from less fortunate countries who seek a better life, but if everyone comes to the US who wants to come and breaks the laws in the process, it will overwhelm our country and economy and make America a poorer place. We are a nation of laws, after all.

Criminals, Thieves ARE NOT a “good thing”.
Calling “Criminals, Law Breakers, Thieves”…
“IMMIGRANTS” is a LIE.

“IMMIGRANT” has a LEAGAL meaning defined IN the LAW…which FIRST requires a foreign person to APPLY for entrance to a Foreign Nation, supply the required documentation, Agree and Abide with US Laws…and wait to SEE “IF” their REQUEST to Legally Enter, IS “GRANTED”.

The US was “established” as a NATION of Laws….you preaching otherwise, ARE part OF the dastardly Problem.



There has been a LONG STANDING protocol for LEGAL immigration in the US Federal Government Statutes, WHICH BIDEN took an OATH to UPHOLD and HAS FAILED.

The USA was NEVER a dumping ground FOR the Godless, the Financially Poor, the Ignorant, Lazy, Criminals….NOR for Opening ARMS turning a Blind eye to Breaking and Entering ILLEGALLY, nor rewarding illegal over-stayers of Visas, nor HIDING illegal LAW breaker's.

If an American Citizen “Hides / Harbors” a “suspected” Criminal….THAT Citizen can be “charged” with a Crime…

YET…all day long the GOVERNMENT…knowingly, Harbors, Hides, Doles out money, food, shelter, clothing, AND grins and pats themselves on the BACK WHILE they DEMAND US Citizens “PAY” for the Governments “DERELICT of DUTY and DIRTY, CORRUPT DEEDS”.

The US has NO SURPLUS of JOBS…the US has a SURPLUS of Americans ON the Welfare ROLLS and ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS doing JOBS and ON the Welfare ROLLS…..WHICH
BTW….was NEVER Sanctioned BY the US Constitution……OR…your know WHO…

Admittedly it’s easy to feel sorry for people from less fortunate countries who seek a better life, but if everyone comes to the US who wants to come and breaks the laws in the process, it will overwhelm our country and economy and make America a poorer place. We are a nation of laws, after all.

Even if people don't break the laws, too many people too fast overwhelms any existing systems, when that happens all you've done is to create a permanent underclass in society, permanent ghetto.

Look at New York, they have a lot of socialist style laws for the benefit of the citizens of New York. The right to be granted shelter can be positive if you're homeless and there's a snow storm...

But even though they have those laws, at just 170,000 additional immigrants added to the city in a short amount of time, New York is turning people out of shelters and into the streets because there's just not that many open beds, so not only are these migrants out of luck, but our own citizens are simply ignored and can no longer receive help.


And 170,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to what's come in...

News out of Denver says the volume is breaking their systems, Chicago is saying the same thing. Housing systems, hospital systems, educational systems, everything is breaking in any city in America about now...


Yet still more are pouring through our borders daily.

My parents were immigrants but they came legally, and having a legal system of immigration is simply a necessity for any sovereign nation. It's for the benefit of immigrants as well as the citizens of the country.

A lot more people too fast overwhelms our education systems, our housing systems, our systems of employment, systems aimed at helping the less fortunate, our hospital systems (one hospital system is saying they've treated 8,000 migrants over 20,000 times last year and it's overwhelming their hospitals, just at that number...)

You simply cannot do this to any country, the only reason anyone would is to destroy that nation. There's no other reason.
