I am certain the Australian media is not following the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, as the US media is not. Kennedy, is as we have covered, the leading vaccine critic world-wide I would estimate, and an old school Leftist, but one who is not anti-capitalism, but open to free market solutions. That, one may think, would make him open borders. However, this is not so. He has begun campaigning against the open southern border of his fellow Democrats, which he sees is creating enormous social and security problems. “Right now we have chaos at the border,” according to Kennedy. “Human trafficking, criminality, intolerable stress on border states like Texas. It is a humanitarian nightmare.” Thus, he has the interesting position of being a liberal, but seeking to seal the open southern border. It is going to be interesting to see the Democrat candidates debates.
“Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is blasting open borders, saying it is “not anti-immigrant” to oppose illegal immigration to the United States which comes with immense economic and social burdens that overwhelmingly fall on working and middle class Americans.
Kennedy, who announced his populist presidential campaign last month, is defending Americans against the political left’s assumption that opposition to an open border equates to endorsing “anti-immigrant bigotry.”
Keeping criminal illegal aliens, such as four-time deported illegal alien Francisco Oropesa Perez-Torres, who is accused of murdering a family of five in Texas, out of American communities ought to be a priority, Kennedy wrote in the Twitter post.
President Joe Biden has ignored Oropesa’s status as a multi-deported illegal alien. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has likewise refused to comment on the suspect.
“Francisco Oropeza Perez-Torres has been arrested for the murder of 5 people including a 9-year-old boy,” Kennedy wrote. “Torres is a Mexican already deported 4 times. It is not anti-immigrant bigotry to demand an immigration system that keeps out criminals. In fact, letting them in stokes bigotry.”
In addition, Kennedy wrote that Americans can be both “pro-immigration and pro-closing the border” with a focus on eliminating chaos in U.S. border towns that is currently taking hold as President Joe Biden’s administration ends Title 42, the public health authority, on May 11.
“Right now we have chaos at the border,” Kennedy wrote. “Human trafficking, criminality, intolerable stress on border states like Texas. It is a humanitarian nightmare.”
