Several years ago, I wrote a post about people being let across the border. You might think it was during the early years of Trump’s presidency, but it was earlier. Actually, I was speaking out against open borders even before Trump decided to run for president.

During the presidential campaign, the border policy debate revealed a surprising consensus among candidates. While Democrats generally supported more open immigration, many Republican contenders also showed varying degrees of support for less restrictive border policies. In the early stages of Trump’s initial campaign, Senator Ted Cruz stood out as a notable exception, consistently advocating for stricter border control. His principled stance resonated with voters who prioritized immigration enforcement. For this voter, Cruz and Trump were the only candidates worthy of support. I would have abstained from voting any others at all.

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one with that view. Near the last of that primary, Cruz was the only one who gave Trump any competition at all. The rest dropped out. Still, there were Republicans who continued to give Trump grief over illegal aliens, fighting for them from the “humanity” concept. However, to them, humanity had little or nothing to do with it. They wanted the lower illegal wages. It contradicted with the fighting by both the Democrats and the liberal Republican concept of minimum wages. To be sure, hiring illegal aliens is the easiest way around minimum wages. Those who ran hotels and restaurants commonly hired illegal aliens at a fraction of the minimum wage, a financial advantage for businesses (rino Republicans) To some degree, this is still true. The dems fight to keep wages down by encouraging illegal immigration while at the same time, fighting for ridiculously high minimum wages. This has two results. It squeezes rightful American citizens out of the job market while permitting the rich to hire low cost labor.

I very strongly disagree with minimum wages and allowing the employment of illegal aliens. I can at least understand it, as selfish and wrong as it it is. However, lately the liberals have started another contradiction. They fight to require vaccination, especially in schools while continuing to fight to allow diseased and infections aliens across the border without even checking for any disease such as AIDS, measles, TB, etc, etc, and so forth.

I have no clue why we haven’t had breakouts of various diseases when President Biden opened the borders and invited one and all with a public speech. And now, the pro vaccine people complain about a few cases of measles and say nothing of the disease infested flooding over the border. We should count ourselves fortunate that we haven’t had an outbreak of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis. Or, perhaps something worse. We have dealt with measles, smallpox, and many other outbreaks throughout US history. When the border was opened, I had both concerns and curiosity about what diseases might have been permitted entry. Perhaps even a disease not yet seen inside our border.

To be sure, contradiction is the way of the Democrats. If you keep your eyes open, you’ll see them. Then again, there is none so blind as those who refuse to see, even that which is obvious.
