True statement, but if I were in charge of the Republican Party's PR, I'd almost solely target the Hispanics.

You can do outreach to the Hispanics all you want but you will never get them until you fully embrace amnesty and the problem with that is it basically opens up the border and that is a goddamn disaster waiting to happen when we are handing out welfare and entitlements left and right. Socialism/welfare and open borders don't mix at all.

Under the only circumstances we can have an open border is if there is no welfare state and entitlements are strictly, strictly, controlled and regulated. Socialism and open borders don't mix. I've never understood how we have such a liberal immigration policy compared to the rest of the world.

Most of Europe is socialistic and they understand that they cannot have open borders as it does not mix at all with their collectivist way of life and philosophy. To attempt to do so is to destroy your country via financial ruin and shortages of all kinds.

I don't have a problem with open borders if we don't have a welfare state. I have a problem with open borders if we have a welfare state.
