Only because we spend all our money on the military and on programs of exclusion.
There is no asterisk on the Statue Of Liberty that says "limited offer."
Like I said our country isn't prepared to deal with them, the only way it would work is to expand the role of government and increase taxes on all of us. I'm not prepared to pay extra for those who didn't help themselves or their own country, and I wouldn't spit on those who tried and sacrificed a lot to come here legally, its a slap in the face to most of our ancestors.

I never took you to be just another loyal nationalist.
I'm not, just curious why you use national monuments to justify mass immigration that is subsidized by federal, state, and local taxes. If there are open borders, there is no government, and no need for citizenship. Which I could agree with. But you want the government defined by US borders to subsidize a massive amount of people that cannot support themselves when they arrive. They sent children here, with no chance of providing life's necessities for themselves.
Borders are use of force against the right to travel freely.
I agree. But in the same breath, you are fine with the government within those borders to assist in the immigration of children that they know cannot support themselves, and will be paid to care for them through the forced taxation of the people they govern. So you support some types of force.

Not true at all.
Most of Europe has open borders.
Free travel does not mean "no government."
I don't want the government subsidizing anyone.
I also do not want the government disallowing anyone from free travel.

I never said any of that.
The force was already done. That can't be changed. They have our money.
I simply said that I would be happy to (over)charge the government that was looking to pass out our extorted cash.

If it were possible to stop taxation, your argument would hold water.
The taxation is a done deal.
All one can hope for is to get an opportunity to take some cash back.
That isn't supporting the use of force through taxation.
Only AFTER creation of the EU, which was done for economic reasons. They also now suffer from ILLEGAL immigrants and are having difficulty dealing with it.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

They deal with it by teaching tolerance and acceptance of minority diversity.
I also do not want the government disallowing anyone from free travel.
You have open border in the US too. They are between 50 states. Europe formed a Union similar the the United State.(and it's beginning to break up).
Now, as the republic is structured right now, for this to be equated to Europe, the South American countries that are sending immigrants to the US, that would require them to join the Union, and contribute into the social welfare programs which will be supporting their poor.
Open borders cannot work without the strict recognition of private property rights. You can't allow unlimited immigration and dump them onto the public welfare system and expect the collective to fund those government welfare programs through forced taxation to foot the bill. If the immigrants were buying property and producing for themselves like what happened during the 1800's and 1900's, that would be a bit closer to the open borders I believe you are talking about. But to put a generation of immigrant children on welfare, you are creating a generation that will only know welfare. Which will lead to a cycle of generational welfare.
