Columnist Ben Shapiro on Tuesday noted that the border could easily be sealed to illegal entrants if the U.S. had the political will to just do it. “The lack of political will springs from a fundamental misunderstanding of the risks of mass illegal immigration…” He then lists his top reasons to close the border immediately and elaborates on each:
Disease, Safety of U.S. Citizens, Safety of Illegal Immigrant Children, Threat of Terrorism, Damage to Low-Wage US Workers, Cost to Taxpayers, Voter Fraud, and Fragmenting of American Culture.
He concludes: “Despite these grave threats to America, members of both parties continue to pretend that leaving the border open is a viable option — Republicans, because they are beholden to big businesses seeking cheap labor, and Democrats, because they want to confiscate the wealth of citizens. But at this point, there is simply no excuse for not closing the border.”
