'''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.

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:
