* Why do the wealthy live in gated communities and walled compounds? They want to live within borders and boundaries. Also the Secret Service is going to be increasing the height of the fence (border) around the White House.
* They also want to take away your right to secure the space around yourself.
While they go around protected by Praetorian guards.
It’s a global empire.

* Worth bearing in mind that the latest islamist terrorist’s parents would not have been in the US at all were it not for the US regime’s choice to use jihadism as a tool of its own interventionist policy in Afghanistan, and he is also on record as feeling (entirely understandable) resentment about US behaviour in Afghanistan.
* Here’s the reality:
I lived in pre-1965 America. There was no airport security, no railway security, no X-ray machines, no Government goons pawing through our luggage, no Moslems in hijabs wanding our grandmas or absconding to foreign countries to wage jihad. Our country and our countrymen were high-trust – because we Americans were then One People.
I miss pre-1965 America because Open Borders Perpetual Mass Third World Imminvasion destroyed that America – destroyed that Great America. Today I don’t even recognize this country as America, because it’s full of and continues to fill up with people who are not American and who never will be American.
Those never-will-be-Americans are why we Americans are now subjects under a police-surveillance-security regime – and those never-will-be-Americans are why today, at every place we Americans go to in what is supposed to be our country, we are now also subjected to private security of every description and level of stringency.
So, yes: let’s have a border, and let’s police it, let’s defend it, let’s keep the global hordes of never-will-be-Americans the hell out of OUR country.
It is that simple.
* On the CBS News tonight they tried to do a tribute to what wonderful people were lost. De mortuis nil nisi bonum (of the dead speak only well) but to be honest, it was a very unimpressive group of (mostly) Hispanics. There were no Feynmans or Hawkings lost in that group. We have been lucky that for every violent Muslim we let in there are a hundred Dominican telemarketers and Mexican Disneyland ride operators but honestly what the hell have we been doing for the last 50 years? The next flying car or interplanetary space ship is not coming from this bunch. We could have done so, so much better but we didn’t even try. It probably wasn’t really a great idea to totally transform the ethnic composition of America to begin with but if we were going to do so anyway, couldn’t we have made it more like Seoul or Singapore and less like Mexico City?
* There are plenty of borders and plenty of border enforcement in a borderless world. They surround and protect the growing increasingly filthy rich increasingly disconnected increasingly bubble-fied international elite.
* In other words, in order to be blessed with the “liberation” of open borders we have to accept authoritarianism within those borders. That might be a bargain people living outside of those borders are thrilled to accept, but why should someone who is already a U.S. citizen accept that “bargain”?
