Open border with Mexico?

Regarding those pesky borders and our nation: If anyone hasn’t “gotten it” yet, please read this from the Albany [Oregon] Democrat Herald.

This editor “gets it” – if we do away with our borders, we can do away with illegal immigration. Problem solved!

Think: “I pledge alligiance to the continent and to the commerce for which it stands”.

We have the North American Free Trade Agreement, which links the economies of the United States, Mexico and Canada. But this arrangement doesn’t seem to extend to the movement of people.

If it did, there would be no such person as an illegal alien from Mexico — or Canada — in the United States. Instead, citizens of each would be free to move from any one of the three countries to one of the others. They could live where they wanted and work wherever they were qualified to work, or where their labor was wanted and needed. In fact, Mexico already allows Americans to come in and stay indefinitely if they can support themselves.

PLEASE read my origianl post here.
