Somebody explain to me.

What the fuck is wrong with "open borders"?

I mean, if we don't count the genocide of Native Americans.

Other than that, what the fuck is the problem?

I'm serious.

Immigrants (legal or not) are more law-abiding than US citizens.

Non-citizens pay taxes and are prohibited from receiving the things GOPhascists call "welfare"--things like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, SNAP.

Immigrants work hard and expand our economy.

Food is rotting in our fields because US citizens won't harvest it.

Yes, dogdammit, I want open borders.

What the fuck is wrong with open borders?

I mean, other than brown people. Fuck your racist bullshit.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Fuck fascists.

PS. Before 2002, you didn't even need a passport to travel to or from Canada or Mexico. Somehow, we survived over two centuries that way.
