I am for Open Borders

[LeftInTX]

12. There is a difference between completely open borders and immigration

Completely open borders would render a country borderless.

My grandmother and great grandmother were deported due to strict new quotas on Middle Easterners. (1923) There was some fraud involved with my great aunt's immigration, but she got in.
My grandmother and great grandmother went to Mexico and somehow devised a way to get in. They were legally entitled to be in the US because they were both married to US citizens. My grandmother had been illegally deported. I don't believe she presented her marriage certificate with at her first go round.

My great grandmother did not have marriage documentation because their documentation was destroyed. Both her and my great grandfather had to lie about their backgrounds so they could become husband and wife in Nuevo Laredo. They both said they were widowed. My great grandfather came armed with bribes for both sides of the border..LOL

It certainly was not open borders for them. I don't believe we ever had them.
