That's an open border.
That's an open border.
And then the last thought on this is that they have – ever since Trump ran for president in 2016, painted him and anyone else who called for securing our borders and an end to illegal immigration –
xenophobes and racists.
You hate brown people if you are against illegal immigration.
So it makes it hard for them now to say, okay, well, this is way over the top.
We have to secure our borders.
We have to stop illegal immigration.
Well, okay, so are you now racist?
Do you also hate brown people now?
Because
That's the situation that they've created.
And then even most recently you saw with J.D.
Vance's wife speaking on the stage at the Republican convention and the headlines that came out of that is she's talking about her immigrant parents who came from India.
She grew up in San Diego and all of this and how grateful she is for the life that they were able to provide and so on.
The headlines were essentially, gosh, isn't she such a hypocrite where she's speaking at a convention where they are calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants as she is telling the story of her immigrant family, which again just begs the question, like, why?
Do they just not understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration, the rule of law?
And I refuse to believe that they are that stupid.
So it really points to that bigger question like, okay, well, why is it that they're creating this narrative that anybody who supports secure borders is a racist who hates brown people?
There have been different serious efforts at fixing our, because our legal immigration system is very, very broken.
