Time To Close The Border! W/ Kim Iversen (Jimmy Dore)

Demands to “close the border” are gaining more and more traction across the American political spectrum as videos depicting waves of immigrants flooding into the country spread across social media. But would that really do much to solve the problem, especially as U.S. foreign policy continues to create the conditions driving migrants to the United States?

Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with political commentator Kim Iversen about whether immigrants should be welcomed to fill open jobs and how the nation could better deal with all these people desperate to enter a United States that is deeply divided about whether to embrace them.



The show here misses the point about the supposed lack of workers. The open borders allow for low paid workers that keeps wages low. There are plenty of people available to work, but not at slave wages. The following comment nailed the issue:

It's not, "We can't get workers."
It's, "We can't get super cheap workers."
