We need border enforcement period, regardless of the welfare state. The border should be secured for security reasons and economic reasons. America is most vulnerable at it's borders, and though it hasn't happened yet, if we leave our borders open, it is only a matter of time until a terrorist attack occurs on American soil. It is an inevitability. Secondly, if we allow hordes of third worlders by the million pour over our borders even without a welfare state they will still undermine the labor pool. The more you increase the labor pool for the same amount of jobs the lower the wages will go. That is basic economics. We need to keep wages high and keep Americans employed. I believe in an American Nation. Open borders and free trade is a large step towards world government and the elimination of cultural and national identity.
