I do not support open borders so long as America has a welfare state.
When the wave of immigrants came here from the 1880's -1920's there was no SS, SSD, Medicare, Medicaid, Aid for Dependent Children, etc. If you were truly desperate you had Jesus house, and that was about it. Immigrants worked and earned, or didn't and starved. I am mostly OK with that.
Take away the welfare state and most of my opposition to open boarders will disappear. Not all, but most.
Regards,
Doug
