'''Open borders''' is the mistaken belief, often politically motivated, that freedom of movement from one country into another is a basic human right. It is a radical notion that [[Border|national boundaries]] are unjust and that migrants of any other culture should be embraced. [[Immigration]] laws are to be ignored, under this view, while tolerance for foreign customs must be embraced, while integration into a new society is not observed out of respect and compassion for multicultural ethnic groups.

[[Immigration]] laws are to be ignored, under this view, while tolerance for foreign customs must be embraced, while integration into a new society is not observed out of respect and compassion for multicultural ethnic groups.  In the [[U.S.]] it takes courage to fight the open border wanted by [[globalist]]s and [[Dems]]; many leaders like [[Texas]] Gov. [[Greg Abbott]], beholden to [[private equity]] [[globalist]]s, do nothing to close the border, while pretending to oppose open borders.  Meanwhile leaders like Texas AG [[Ken Paxton]] faces an unprecedented impeachment by the Texas House, also beholden to the [[dark money]] [[globalist]]s, after he led the litigation against [[illegal immigration]].

Open borders result in more crime. In addition, capital resources are spent on migrants, most of whom have little or no education. [[Jail]] populations swell, the health system is burdened, schools struggle to cope, law enforcement and the courts are overwhelmed. The mindset of open-borders advocates is illustrated in the May 2019 storming and occupation of a terminal at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris – the illegal migrants who occupied it chanted: "France does not belong to the French!"<ref>Multiple references:
