Impassible Borders and Strong Conservatism

I’ve had to wait in line at the Canadian Peace Arch border crossing for three hours. How many billions of dollars, just in lost productivity of people, is wasted at this one crossing every year?

Every single one of the 16 Republican presidential candidates is for keeping illegal immigrants out. They’re choking up the welfare system, don’t you know? Republicans want the welfare system to be strong and vibrant!

Are they listening to what is coming out of their mouths?

But Carly Fiorina is kind of wishy washy on Trump’s wall idea. She said, “Border walls aren’t particularly effective.”

On Twitter, someone asked Ann Coulter whether the Great Wall of China worked, and she said, “I’m so glad you ask. Yes it did! So does Israel’s wall, China’s wall w/ N.K., etc. Carly not sure wheels work.”

I said, with no response from her of course, “The Berlin Wall and North Korea’s wall with South Korea worked, too. But capitalism involves free movement.”

I don’t understand why conservatives want to keep cheap labor out of this country, and keep government off our backs. That’s the whole reasoning behind conservatism is free markets and small governments, but I guess conservatives have been duped on this issue.

I’ve heard a saying before, “Where people and money don’t cross borders, armies do.”

These are must-see videos on the topic.

Keep the government off our back! They have no business controlling who comes or goes.
