\nPuerto Rico is being allowed to fall apart in order to rig American presidential elections by tipping Florida\u2019s electoral votes to the Democrats. The looting of Puerto Rico\u2019s institutions by the rich and the poor alike is depopulating the island.<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico is a fascinating test case for what has emerged as the central issue of 2016 politics: borders.<\/p>\n

The two American presidential candidates in 2016 both seem fairly centrist in terms of traditional left-right positions, but Mrs. Clinton ranks with John McCain as the purest example of current invade-the-world-invite-the-world establishment ideology. In contrast, as Hillary fumed last week, Donald Trump has fueled his surprise run by endorsing the \u201calternative\u201d worldview that finds borders prudent and valuable.<\/p>\n

For example, Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU politician who heads the European Commission, enunciated this month the ascendant dogma: \u201cBorders are the worst invention ever made by politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expressions of open-borders extremism such as this are becoming ever more explicit and common, but way back on Sept. 10, 2001, Mrs. Clinton\u2019s husband affirmed \u201cthe ultimate wisdom of a borderless world\u201d and called for \u201copen borders to all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
