Why Are Secure Borders Essential to Maintain Sovereignty?

The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday concerns the value of sovereign nations maintaining secure borders. The invasion of 60,000 people into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the Moroccan border is one example of what happens when First World nations open their borders. It is also an example of what the United States would be like if Kamala Harris had been elected as President of the United States. All Americans with any common-sense at all should be thanking heaven that Donald Trump won the election.

Rep. Paul Gosar, Rep. Lauren Boebert, and Rep. Mary Miller authored an article published by Blaze Media. Here is their explanation for this week’s liberty principle. 

The Permanent Trump Secure Border Act would turn today’s restored deterrence into lasting law and block another Biden-style border disaster.

Spain is offering the United States a warning we would be foolish to ignore.

For years, Democrats have pursued an immigration agenda built around weak enforcement, mass amnesty, and the surrender of national sovereignty to globalist priorities. Americans who want to see where that agenda can lead should look at Ceuta.

Codify secure borders now or prepare to watch the crisis return under the next Democratic administration.

In recent days, an estimated 60,000 migrants – many military-age men – attempted to overwhelm the small Spanish enclave on the Moroccan border. They arrived by land and sea, swamping local authorities and producing deadly chaos.

This was not an isolated event. It followed Spain’s moves toward amnesty for illegal immigrants, effectively signaling that unlawful entry might eventually be rewarded.

Spain’s Civil Guard described the border as totally collapsed. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez rushed to the enclave, denounced the surge as a violation of Spain’s territorial integrity, and deployed the military.
