Have we become used to/accepting of Open Borders?

I've seen the recent Mayorkas hearings like everybody else and watched the uproar leading up to it for years. Watching Mayorkas claim that everything is peachy down there is like trying to hide an aircraft carrier. Despite that, it seems like the border issue is slowly gaining acceptance in the American psyche. I don't see the needle moving.

What can Republicans do besides waiting for a Republican POTUS or win back the Senate? Calm my fears....

The opposite is true. Yes, the Dems are stubbornly refusing to do anything about it but even NYC mayor is starting to whine about immigrants.

'Open borders" is one of the top 3 or 4 issues that the regime is using to destroy the USA...

one of the schemes of the neo-Bolsheviks.

So what candidates will do something to fix and repair this plague?

worse: we've become too accepting of communists who are using our freedoms against us to destroy our country

If hundreds of thousands of poorly educated illegal immigrants were permanently relocated to areas where the Dim cultural Marxist elites reside you would see some concern from the Dims/Groomers. Remember how the Dim Elites melted down when a few dozen illegals were flown into Martha's Vineyard?

I don’t know if regular Americans have accepted so much as a level of recognition that there’s little we can do about it ourselves.

Trump to his credit was the first politician who actually tried to DO something.

Most politicians left and right paid lip service during election campaigns but don’t really do anything except moves to grant amnesty every few years (and that shite goes all the way back to Reagan who was my personal favorite president but that was a horrible move on his part that’s had permanent consequences.)

Dems want the additional voters/super-majority and most traditional GOP types want and don’t see/care beyond the cheap labor.

Here in Trinidad, we are 7 miles from Venezuela, the change in our demographics over the past 10 years has been astounding.

But its like the Ellis Island years of the US. We dont have all these friggin handouts you have in the states so the people come and they work. And they will work. And many are skilled.

Ironic the number of times I have heard in a conversation that someone needs something done and the next person will say "Get you a couple of Spaniards (its what Trinidadians denote as Venezuelans), and not in a negative sense. They are hard working and you can find one skilled in most anything you need.

What immigration was intended for versus what it has become in the states is a disgrace. Particularly the fact that the current adm lets in anyone....except Cubans and Venezuelans are always scrutinized because they dont want people who truly seek freedom.

Our founding fathers set up this country with open borders, and they stayed open for the first hundred years.

It wasn't until the Chinee started coming over that we put a stop to it.

nope, trump should completely shut down and close the border for his entire term and deport as many as they can, that might be a way to get it to a workable level.

there will be 15-30 million new illegals in this country by 24 election time. the dems will be voting for them so trump must get 40 million more votes than the potato. it wont be easy, but he is the ONLY one who can do it if it can be done.

Going back to the 1965 Act, the left has been completely gung-ho in diluting the voting power of white conservative cultura by flooding the country with third-world minorities who weren't teethed on our Constitutional values and more apt to take a subservient perspective towards big federal government. What was the real killer was when the pseudo-conservative/libertarian faction in the 1990s started to expound on the notion that America was really just a 'state of mind,' and defined more as a kind of borderless 'enterprise zone' adhering to nothing more than free market principles.

The combined result is really what we have now. There's really no longer any sense of shared culture, shared heritage, shared values. In essence, we're really no longer a country, as such a thing would have been defined throughout human history. Just an open land-mass, full of disparate people. Like a seedy bus-stop, with all sorts of people mulling about, coming and going. It has ripped away any compulsion to be loyal, to be patriotic. America is like a hollow shadow of a country at this point. When they started tearing down statues, I knew the end-game was just about here. The current, insane flood of illegals swamping the land isn't so much an instigator of our downfall, but more like a post-facto influx of maggots swarming in to feast off of dead flesh.

We should have closed that border in January 2021 when they started this crap.

Yes….we.

We have become too used to the corruption that has resulted in open borders.
