  18-06-2022 22:34
  
  Sometimes even Democrats have to pretend the United States is a nation.
  Nations, of course, have borders. And normal nations defend those borders.
  Except for the U.S., when Democrats want cheap votes and their friends in business, including Republicans, want cheap labor.
