No, of course not. But we should have a very liberal immigration policy.

Yes, let anyone come to the US as they wish.
No, ask everyone that is coming across our border if they intend to kill us.
Other, when you come across sign up for Obamacare and Medicaid, we love you and want to take care of you. Come one and come all. We have yobs and medical and if no yobs we pay you to stay.

I am fairly liberal minded on every issue except immigration. I live in California and I can see what is happening to this state. It is turning into a little Mexico. The town I live in is 77% Hispanic and I know most of them are not here legally. I fear for the future of California.
Does open borders mean no security as well? No screening? No ability to close them against the violence of drug cartels or epidemics? Identify potential terrorists?
Every country should. It's one of those 'inalienable rights' us humans are endowed with by our creator, if you catch my drift, to travel and live wherever we wish on this planet. No arbitrarily established and phoney ass government gets to interfere with that.
Open border is what we have now. Anything and everything, including people just walk across the border. Our laws are not being enforced at the border, thus it is a parade of people good or the bad that want to kill us and bringing anything they want. That is exactly what is going on right now. Our border is in crises mode and Obama is doing nothing about it.
As I stated, there needs to be jobs program making it as easy as possible to get a public works job, regardless of where they were born.
The notion that only immigrants are benefiting from this is not true. Also, I don't support any tax hikes on the working class. The ones I've proposed are increased tax rates mostly on the top 10%.
But you are correct if you're referring to how the upper class is essentially in control of our elections. A welfare system should be designed so that it can lift one out of poverty in addition to a job. The poor aren't going to sit on their benefits and not find a job unless they can't find one.
This is incorrect.
Everything a liberal wants, you want it paid for by the top 10%. I can't tell you how many times heard that from lefties that want to take if from the top 10% to pay for their pet program. Problem is soon there is no more rich, it's all gone to pay for you're pet projects.
Now your talking about more welfare to lift on out of poverty, where is all that money coming from. Yeah I know the top 10%.
Then explain what is correct?
I'm genuinely curious how you believe the massive social state that the left tends to desire can possibly function with open borders. If boatloads of immigrants from third world countries arrive on American shores with no job opportunities and no job skills, how can we pay for the sustenance? What jobs will they work when we already have millions of unemployed Americans? Where will the money come from to support and provide for millions of immigrants?
You may think you have an "inalienable right" but try walking into N Korea or Iran and see how far you get. Thus you have no inalienable right. So much for that.
I would actually not have a problem with a borderless planet and a single, representative world government, but I doubt it will happen any time in the foreseeable future.

Yeah, don't hold your breath, never going to happen in any foreseeable future.
The idea single world government in this day and age quite frankly scares the crap out of me.
