Open Borders? Is this what America wants?

Question

Why not introduce a national referendum question to the American people like Gingrich calls for.

Let's see the libs make the case for open borders and let the American's vote on it. Otherwise, let's enforce the laws on the book as they are written.

LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN O ECHO CHAMBER.

Answer 1

Excellent idea but I don't think it will ever happen. Our elected representatives have been steadfastly ignoring the problem of our border for decades. Why would they all of a sudden reverse that trend and ask the American people what they think of the issue. For whatever reason congress is not interested in protecting our southern border. And to answer your basic question, no I don't want open borders. Good luck to you

Answer 2

I guess we could build something like a combination of the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall of China along the US Mexican border, you would defiantly make it harder for someone to cross the border.



But instead of spending all that money on building a wall to keep people out, wouldn't it make more economic sense to remove the reason they come here in the first place? Impose harsh penalties against employers who are known to hire illegals. If nobody will hire them they won't come.



The thing is, those very employers provide support to the Republican Party, and because of that, they have a lot of political power, so the Republicans criminalize the powerless.

Answer 3

Uh.....NO! The next thing you know 10 Islamic terrorist are going to cross the mexican border with AK47's and bombs, walk into a crowed mall in Houston or somthing and kill 200 people before they blow themselves up. It's is AMAZING that we haven't been attacked like that since 9/11. The only reason we haven't is because of Bush and things like the Patriot Act as well as the fact that our miltary is taking the bullets for us by fighting over THERE rather than over HERE.

Answer 4

Obama and the Mexican President does. This will bring our population more in line with the world like Mexico, Africa, China, Iran and all the rest. That is what the Socialist/Progressives all want. That is why they are spending us into a debt we cannot recover from. That is why everything "must be done right now". Fight back. Vote them out. Both parties. Anyone who voted for this massive spending. And when a state stands up for it's citizens as Arizona has done, support them. And when a state like California seeks to do them financial harm by boycotting them, boycott California. When you shop, you make sure the fruit and vegetables you buy are not grown in California. Do not vacation there. Write to your Congress and Senate representatives and ask that they follow Arizona's lead as I have done here in Texas. Save Your Country !

Answer 5

If you allow the same percentage of illegals from Mexico coming from China, India, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Cambodia, and Oceanians, the Pro Illegal Mexican Immigrants would be up in arms, to have them deported as they would have competition and bias, just like what they expressed towards the boat people in the 90s.

Everybody wants to pursue life's liberty and happiness across the world. Legal immigration is a way of keeping it fair and to make sure who ever is given entry will not cause harm in untreatable decease out brakes, Capital Crimes, or negligent crimes like DUIs.

There are many bilinguals in the country, and requiring them to speak castilian (spanish) to obtain a job isn't fair on them either. When ever spanish is spoken by fluent english speaking bilinguals in the presence of other bilinguals or non bilinguals, co-workers, friends, classmates, or neighbors, you can bet they are conspiring about something or someone. If their arguing and yelling then it's about work, personal, or trivial things. Same goes to other bilinguals.

Answer 6

Nope.

Most Americans want a wall along the Mexican border so high you can see it from Indiana.



The Democrats are so out of touch with the American people they can't see how they are massacring their political futures.

Answer 7

Open borders....sure I am sure members of Al Quaeda would appreciate it.



Open borders wouldn't be in the security interest of the American citizen but hey.....what does this administration care about that!!

Answer 8

When Newt Gingrich has enough support for a national referendum, he may make one. Getting all of the U.S. to agree, or even a majority will not be as easy as he or you think

Answer 9

I think that's what the very liberal Western world is working towards. I think it's time for a new pilgrimage. I'm sure the white South African farmers wish they had done that before they started killing them. The Serbs too. We just need to separate. It's safer for Protestant-heritage white people.

Answer 10

I know why you hate liberals so much. It's because you don't understand them. Talk radio tells you that liberals hate America. Glenn Beck tells you that liberals are destroying America. You think liberals support illegal immigration and open borders, and oppose guns, and love terrorists.



Your view of liberals is so unrealistic it borders on delusional.



You need to take a deep breath, unclench and listen. Liberals don't support open borders - we support responsible and Constitutional immigration reform.

Answer 11

actually, we do have open border for immigrants who want to follow the rules, the problem is the illegal ones who don;t want to follow the rules

Answer 12

What a wonderful idea! Let us decide if we want to be United States citizens or global citizens! Put it on the Nov ballot!

Answer 13

Democrats like the discord. They don't want to resolve issues or follow the will of the people. It is all in the manual (Rules for Radicals).

Answer 14

When the toilet overflows with stinking turds and they become Americas future, then YES!!

Answer 15

Send us your poor, your huddled masses.....



I seem to have read that on some American icon or other?

Answer 16

No one thinks the border should be completely open.



But why no concern over the Canadian border? Skin color?



Haha.. hahaha
