Borders Matter

Here is the opinion of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff:

For many years, Europeans have been told by their leaders that borders could not be closed to curb illegal migration due to the Schengen Agreement, to the detriment of security in European countries. Suddenly, with the numbers of COVID-19 deaths rising, and with the spread of the virus traced across Europe, border controls, barriers and other measures were swiftly introduced. The United States followed suit in closing its borders with Canada and Mexico. Strict border security helps to stop the virus from spreading. In the 14th century, Polish King Casimir III knew what to do in order to save his country from the plague, which had spread from China to Europe and killed countless millions of people. Poland was less affected by the plague because King Casimir isolated his country, closed borders and quarantined the border regions. Border security is health security.

President Trump has been trying to control US borders since the day of his inauguration. The US courts and the 'open borders' crowd has been thwarting him all along. I would argue THEY bear much of the responsibility for the mess we're now in.

What do you think?

  1. Trudeau refused to close our borders here in Canada. In fact illegals were helped across the border by the RCMP before being taken to hotels where they were fed and given money. On Monday, 16th March at 4.30am Trudeau was disturbed from his slumbers by 3 CIA operatives who handed him some indictments and seem to have fitted him with a Tracking device. The Canadian borders were swiftly closed. Trudeau has yet to move out of his abode. His wife and children have not been seen for some time.
