Open borders are cruel, not compassionate

The immigration policies of our country have caused incalculable human suffering, but not for the reasons we have been told.
According to the narrative spun by the open borders movement, the media and like-minded elected officials in Washington, America’s attempts to secure its borders are rooted in a malevolent strain of nationalism. Strong immigration policies, the story goes, coldly slam the door shut on poor foreigners seeking asylum from nightmarish conditions in their home countries. To get on the side of the angels, our only option is an amnesty-based approach where migrants can easily flow into the United States, relocate their extended families here and receive public assistance where employment is not available. This is the complete opposite of the truth.
