When the topic of having a controlled border comes up, the opposition throws these things out...
*They're just doing the jobs Americans won't do
*They're just looking for a better life
Jobs Americans won't do: Roofing, carpentry, painting, dry walling, brick masonry, landscaping, rebuilding car engines, factory work, restaurant work, etc. Yeah, Americans sure don't want those jobs.
They're just looking for a better life: Cool. Maybe Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, the Taliban,
Al-Shabaab, and al-Qaeda would like to look for a better life here.
We're in a proxy war with Russia and Israel, and soon China will take Taiwan and Iran is a wild card; How dumb would you have to be to allow open borders?
