Citizen sovereignty not "open borders"

In the debate over what US immigration policy should be, I fall on the "open borders'" side.

However, the term "open borders" is a misnomer.

The absence of immigration suppression laws doesn't mean the absence of borders.

If immigration suppression laws were repealed, US national borders would remain. So would the borders of states, counties, cities, and townships.

And so would our most important borders, the borders of our own private property.

In fact, immigration suppression laws violate our sovereignty over the borders of our own land, homes, and businesses.

Instead of allowing us to make our own decisions about who crosses the borders of our property, nativists want a centralized state bureaucracy to force its decisions upon us.

This is another example of the "fatal conceit", the idea that socialist central planners can make better decisions than we can as individuals

We should not let border socialists pretend they're the defenders of our borders.

They are not.

They are the violators of our sovereignty.

Am I for "open" borders?

Yes, in common parlance.

But what I'm really for is your right to control the boundaries of your own property.
