Kevin Johnson is an attorney, a law professor, an author and a proponent of open borders. He teaches at the University of California, Davis. He has written many books on the issue of immigration.
He was recently in Atlanta, speaking at Emory University. He caught my eye with an article he wrote that was published in The Sacramento Bee.
It is Thursday night and I am headed to Cleveland, but I wanted to post this interview before I left. I do not have time right now to comment on it as I ordinarily would, but this interview is one that you should listen to if you have any interest or concern in the “illegal alien” vs. “immigration reform” issues. You should also read the article in the Sacremento Bee.
Kevin is a proponent of open borders, what he sometimes refers to as permeable borders. You can listen to the interview and decide for yourself, but the important thing that I want to point out is this: Kevin makes it clear (at least to me) that the purpose of “immigration reform” is never going to be to build a fence. It will never be about securing our borders. It is never going to be to enforce the immigration law. It is never going to be about validating 10 to 12 million people who entered the country illegally. All of these are just stepping stones to the ultimate goal: OPEN BORDERS!
Kevin will tell you that America needs workers from the other side of the border, more than the 10 to 12 million here already. Kevin will tell you that just like the European Union, our uniting with Mexico would be good for the economy. Kevin will tell you that it is impossible to enforce the immigration laws and therefore a waste of time, just like Prohibition. Kevin will tell you that you can’t keep them from coming to America with a fence so why not embrace the idea of open borders.
Kevin will tell you a whole lot of things that sound reasonable. But what Kevin will not tell you is the truth about OPEN BORDERS. He will not admit that Mexico is a corrupt little country that has absolutely nothing to offer America except cheap labor, exploited and exploitable labor, the kind of labor that we had a century ago. They passed NAFTA and our American manufacturing industry went South. With open borders, they just want to bring the cheap worker north to the American jobs.
It is truly scary to me to think that there are leaders in this country who seriously contemplate a North American Union, who would even consider uniting this great country with a poor excuse for a democratic nation, or who would think that a steady flood of cheap labor from Mexico is just what the American worker needs.
Cheap labor! Think about it! The rich might want it, but they are less than 1% of the population (or somewhere in there). Big corporations and small employers might want it, so they can save a dime. But, I guarantee you, if you make anyone crossing the border legal and eligible to work, it will not be long before they will take the jobs Americans do want to do, because they will do them for a wage that is un-American, but far more than they can earn in that corrupt and poor little country south of the border.
I recommend you take a few minutes to visit American for Sovereignity. You don’t have to agree with everything anyone says about this issue, including me, but I suggest you not swallow “immigration reform” just because some politician tells you it is the right thing to do or the only thing to do.
This exact same thing happened with NAFTA and now just about everyone realizes we were duped. These lovers of cheap labor know that at some point, even if it was a bad idea, it goes too far and you can’t undo it. That is exactly what they want when it comes to open borders. Step by step, until it has gone to far and no one can stop the ultimate goal of open borders.
If you think I am wrong, prove it. I am ready for another interview!
