In hindsight, do you think open borders was a good idea for America?

No. Open borders causes a country to be disorganized and floods people suddenly into a system not ready to receive them besides the fact the wicked people that come from other countries and cause problems.

[Asker]

Thanks for having common sense.

[Surely]

I thought that it was a terrible idea at the time. And still do!
Won’t need fertilizer for a long time. After all the BS that the democrats were shoveling about their great immigration policies.

[Surely]

Thank you for the MHO!

[OlderAndWiser]

It doesn't require hindsight to know that this idea was dumb AF!

No it wasn’t. A lot of people who say yes to this probably don’t live on the borders. Or they have family who are illegals who they want to come here. Sure there’s probably some people who are just looking out for humanity to help others attain a better life. But overall no I don’t think it was a good idea. I actually live down by the border. Not a good thing. A lot of people living in the communities on the border have to be worry about being shot. If you report them, they may retaliate which some have by force or other methods. The borders tend to have trash all over, especially in areas where they’re trafficked through a lot. Children coming through the border w people who aren’t even their family, trying to make ICE seem for sympathetic or empathetic to them coming in.
When I was in the military, early 2000s, I was on the border w ICE. Some seen a lot more, did a lot more. A lot of crazy stuff.

Sure, 20 million uneducated, indigent people who will never be able to support themselves without government assistance clogging up our emergency rooms , over taxing out law enforcement agencies and over taxing out schools all at the cost of over half a trillion dollars a year.

Then we have the body count of Americans who are no longer here because of Joe Biden.

It was extremely detrimental.
Legal immigrants and migrant workers are beneficial if we vet those who enter and keep the numbers manageable. But letting millions flood into the country overwhelmed communities and city resources, and created a dangerous situation by allowing law breakers, criminals and even potential terrorists into the country.

I think Biden, in his failing mind, and coached by his advisors, thought the US was part of the European Schengen Area, where people can freely move between countries without passport and immigration controls at the border, essentially an open border.

Unfortunately, the US situation is totally different. Open borders with Mexico and Canada is a really bad idea.

[Miristheiss]

?

Of course not.

It is horrible for the country.

[Asker]

Biden must have really hated america.

[Anonymous]

it was expensive and reversed so a waste, people died getting here and then lost it all.

the underlying desperateness needs noted. the issues down south haven't improved, maybe worse. that's a serious issue. USA as well needs migrants, we will need to re-engage legal immigration.

Funny how so many right wingers condemned Biden for "open borders" even though it was Reagan who welcomed illegals with open arms and granted them unconditional amnesty. Where were the right wingers back then?

[Asker]

Reagan was a moron just like you.

[Dargil]

It was during our massive western European emigration of Italians and Irish.. we needed tradesmen and farmers during those days. They received no government largesse and wanted to assimilate. What Biden gave us was a hostile invasion.

[DrPepper12]

No. Shouldn't have let these mofos in!!

[msc545]

There never were "open" borders. That is a MAGA lie.

[Asker]

Biden says that you're wrong.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

look around you, did it look like a good idea?

[Pohjolan]

It's a matter of perspective. Like it didn't exactly end well for native indians.

[blackeagle007]

A wall with a door. I don’t know why Mexico doesn’t have over this.

[SmokinAces2000]

I think that there need to be better immigration and deportation policies.

[FunkyMonkee]

Ask Lakin Reily's parents.
