Throughout our lives, there has been nothing but ongoing chaos, crisis, death, and suffering along the U.S.-Mexico border. There is a simple reason for this phenomenon: the U.S. immigration system is based on the socialist principle of central planning, which produces “planned chaos.” To address this chaos, U.S. officials have imposed an immigration police state in the borderlands, which has destroyed liberty and privacy and which is now being expanded nationwide. As Jacob Hornberger details in this introductory primer, there is one — and only one — solution to this border morass. That solution is “open borders” — genuine open borders — that is, the dissolution of the Border Patrol, ICE, and all restrictions on the free movements of goods, services, and people across our international borders. This book shows that not only are open borders the only solution to the ongoing, never-ending, perpetual crisis, chaos, suffering, death, and immigration police state along the border, they are also the only solution that is consistent with religious, free-market, and moral principles as well.
