As above, so below. In the macro, as in the micro. A Nation State needs borders like people need boundaries.
Even that paragon of The Science, Psychology Today, agrees that boundaries are quite necessary for mental health and integrity.

Each person must decide where they draw the line between preserving their privacy, at least from those with whom they are not intimate, and letting others in. To maintain those lines, they erect boundaries and work to preserve them. Some individuals are more vigilant, and even aggressive, about their firewalls, which can lead to discomfort, if not conflict, with others. But in general, setting healthy boundaries can be a way of preserving one's mental health and well-being.
Healthy boundaries are about not allowing people to talk down to you, minimize you, gaslight you - such treatment is abuse. Healthy boundaries is not associating with people who would abuse you, minimizing contact with abusers and not taking their abuse when you do have to deal with them.
This in contrast is not a healthy boundary:
That is more like so we don’t have to face each other while we traumatize each other and memory hole a DOD, medical cartel induced mass murder, while not actually preventing the spread of viral disease other than rank authoritarianism and collective mental illness.
This is a healthy border for a nation-state being invaded by millions of military aged men, many from countries that would be happy to abuse and damage America.
This is a nation-state lacking a healthy border:
When you don’t have boundaries and abusers get away with abusing you, the abuser becomes ever more abusive. When a nation like America sends a message that anyone who wants to cross the border can (and we will give you $5000, free travel, free housing, a drivers license, free health care - tell all your friends!), then more and more people will come. When the same abusers who demolish the borders tell you you are enlightened for not having kids, have abortions, get sterilized, then indeed, it is only a matter of time before those abusers replace the native population with a considerably more powerless and compliant people even more easily abused.
It appears the US Senate, Democrats and Republicans, have agreed that making the border healthier is about sending the message to the world that the border is open, immigrants are welcome, seemingly unlimited per year for “asylum”. That is abusers getting away with it, becoming even more abusive. Shutting down the border to this abusive crowd looks like giving DHS and the President the option to shut down the border if migrant encounters exceed 4000 per day. If it reaches 5000, DHS would be required to shut down “illegal” crossings. 4,999 per day is 1.8 mil per year. So I guess, if it were 20,000 per day, DHS would only technically be required to stop illegal crossings. Which sounds like encouraging unlimited “legal” asylum seekers. They talk about toughening asylum requirements, but if 100,000 a day are coming to the border claiming asylum, you’ve only made the problem worse.
(There is a lot of conflicting information in these reports, this is a summation after reading most of them and then some.)
You know they are abusive liars when Biden says he will shut down the border the day the bill passes, when he could do that at any time without Congress.
Also, Biden is demanding not less than 30,000/mnth continue to be allowed in from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua and Cuba. Also the bill would give the president the authority to decide to bring in as many as he wanted for ‘humanitarian” reasons. All of this above and beyond border asylum seekers. So really, this so called deal doesn’t look like it would reduce pressure on the border at all, at minimum it allows 2+mil outside normal legal immigration, still incentivizing people to believe they would be let in, which is sure to exacerbate the pressure on the border. Add in illegal immigrants not seeking asylum and this deal is just making the status quo official at 3mil per year.
Some of the expert journalists in this list can’t even tell the difference between a week and a day. There is not a lot of information about how this deal would effect those 8mil already here since 2020, except more money for sanctuary cities to continue to provide for their every need apparently, and a quicker process of asylum hearings. Read, they are here to pad Democrat numbers in Congress, the vast majority remaining to entice their friends and family abroad to make the journey too, and Senate Republicans are apparently fine with that.
Washington DC and Wall Street are decided, there will be open borders, regardless what Americans think about that. Remember, Hillary lost in 2016 in part because she argued for open borders. As soon as dems regained power, they opened the borders, even though they did not run on that as a platform.
I’ve been to Senegal. It is very poor, but it is also one of the most peaceful nations in Africa. Senegalese are not fleeing violence, they are fleeing the economy of Senegal, which is a country the size of South Dakota with 18-20 times the population, a country that is mostly desert. A majority of those 18-20mil are under the age of 18.
As much as I appreciated the people of Senegal, political asylum is the lie abusers are using to call us racist for not wanting a border wide open to the Senegalese and the other one or two billion people in the world like them.
Thankfully, Americans are waking up to the fact that we are being abused, both medically and via open borders, beginning to send the message that we will no longer be abused, we are setting boundaries.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – 25 Republican governors released the following joint statement in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas’ constitutional right to self-defense.
The statement comes as the Biden Administration continues to attack Texas and refuses to take action or responsibility for the crisis at the Southern border.
“President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.
“The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.”
Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).
Regime media is mostly silent about the standoff. Abusers are good at abuse but have a hard time arguing that they deserve to be abusive to you, once you call out their abuse. A wide open border to any and all military aged men is a losing issue for Biden, so as abusers do, Dems and regime media are gaslighting the abused. The border is in chaos because Republicans in the House won’t agree to continue to incentivize mass migration, obviously. See, we have to compromise by you giving me everything I want, and you will like it.
Meanwhile, Biden and Mayorkas at the Department of Homeland Security are threatening all options to keep the border open are being considered, including presumably sending in the military:
Biden is very fearsome about it:
Senator Dick Durbin, because white boys are tired of being abused by the GAE military and are no longer enlisting like they used to, says we need illegals in the military, apparently so the military can keep the border open to effectively unlimited migrants every year.
Durbin and presumably a good many Democrats and some Republicans, apparently want to use a military of women, trans, illegal immigrants and puppy play soldiers to keep the border wide open, and keep MAGA in line.
The Federal Government is like an abusive occupier, that gets more abusive by the day because it keeps getting away with being abusive. Covid turned these monsters demonic. The Federal Government seems to believe it can do whatever it wants, the Deep, Managerial State hate us, 84% of that crowd thinks the Biden Administration is not abusive enough, they want to take your internal combustion vehicles and tools, air conditioning, meat, coffee, gas stoves, free speech, free movement, land - they think we are way too free, even as I feel like life in America has been getting less free as long as I have been alive.
Unlimited migrants are only going to facilitate turning America into a reflection of the places they are fleeing.
MAGA increasingly is a pejorative these elite use for anyone asking for healthy boundaries. MAGA as the greatest threat to Democracy is abusers blaming/gaslighting their victims while they go about destroying democracy in the name of saving it.
Setting up personal boundaries against the petty abusers in your life is necessary to healthy living. Restoring real boundaries for America, not just at the border, but between citizens and our increasingly abusive government and managerial State, is the only way to restore health to America.
I called Gov Abbott's office saying I support his state closing the border. Not the first time I have called his office from my blue state. Now we have to be concerned about the northern border.
I'm always writing about people needing to enforce their boundaries, mostly because our society have turned en masse into abusers because no one had previously been enforcing boundaries. The more enforce our boundaries, the better the world will be. Communists don't like boundaries and it shows.
