"Open borders will destroy this country. You can't have a country if you don't have a border."
If we have open borders, we have borders. It's in the name.
"You can't have a country if you can't CONTROL your borders."
So we can do whatever we want with them? Okay. Open them up!

The "it's about sovereignty" people insist that there's only one and exactly one thing we're allowed to do with our borders and still be a country, and that doesn't sound very sovereign to me.
Of course, the reality is that no one ran for president on open borders, much less did our actual Democratic nominee do so. The GOP just calls *any* whiff of immigration reform "open borders" in order to make it sound scary and extreme.
But part of defanging that has got to be pushing back on the idea that it is scary and extreme. What would be so bad about open borders? What's so wrong with a little socialism? Why are we afraid of all the things the GOP tells us to be afraid of?
