When politicians invoke fear of foreigners, they are presenting a cover story for a hidden agenda. (actually this is what happens any time a politician presents any idea, but i digress)
When it comes to immigration, the cover story is protection from foreigners, but the hidden agenda is control of the domestic population (and foreigners too).
Tighter ID controls means that cops can stop anyone without justification, this means immigrants and the domestic population. This also gives the government a pretense to spy..on EVERYONE. It also gives them a pretense to spend more money on law enforcement and border controls. And it allows them to KEEP PEOPLE IN if they want to flee the country with their wealth during times of confiscation.
This is just scratching the surface of how immigration policies are used against the domestic population.
We're all just cattle living on a giant farm. The borders are our cattle fencing to keep us grazing in the right field so we can be milked (taxed) by the right farmer (government). And if anyone thinks there's a difference, just think, cows have free healthcare, housing, food, roads to their different pens, etc. Did the farmer pay for that to provide for the cow, or did the cow pay for that to provide for the farmer?
From the open field we follow the tightening path to the killing floor
that and it keeps the bears out.
lol
Sorry you feel this way. Free countries provide the ability for its citizens to leave (ie cross national borders) with little effort. To think otherwise is non-sense.
You're telling me I could leave Canada and cross into the US without having to pay any sort of extortion fee? And then once there, I could freely trade with someone for goods and services and then return without being further extorted with fees and taxes on those goods. Free contries don't provide this ability, they restrict it and capitalize from it via threats of force and violence.
No, I never said it didn't cost money, or that there was no process. I never said any of what you just wrote.
Borders are not meant to lock us inside countries like cattle -- they're to keep wolves off the farm.
I didn't mean to imply that you physically said anything I typed. I apologize if that's how it seemed and I guess I should have worded it differently.
But...
You should re-read this post because it's implying this is what we are told but it's not what's actually happening if you really think about it. I was initially just emphasizing the other side of it. To think it's not happening both ways is just non-sense.

I think they have already been spying on everyone with or without a pretense. One of the few legitimate roles of government is to secure the borders. They do a whole lot of shit that is not really their job but that is their job.
Totally agree, it's not even logical to think that wealthy people couldn't flee the country by means other than via exiting the border crossing, even more logic would tell you that the wealthy have investments and money in offshore accounts as well.
When we want to look at controlling the populace all one has to do is look at the open border issue. Open borders allows those in power access to cheap labor that enables to keep intact substandard wages to keep them dependent on the government and under their control to enrich themselves and feed the globalist agenda.
Everything has its positives and negative. Look at the Vatican and what our pope says “we should build the bridges not the walls”
Why would they build these walls while saying otherwise?
yeah, Vatican's wall is an old wall. He says to build bridge, but in the vatican, no homeless or clochard are admitted.
You cant even get in wearing shorts in the summer!
Obama built a wall around his rental house!
I sometimes think this is just common knowledge....but I often realize it isn’t, so thanks for the reminder for those who need it ;-)
It is scary all of the surveillance tech that exists today. Phones with facial recognition creating a data base of every individuals face and giving police and others the ability to unlock a phone by holding it up to a persons face while their being restrained. Makes you wonder what technology exists that we are unaware of?
:S
Borders are just walls built on imaginary lines to keep the human herd in a state of fear of what is in the outside. No different than in previous times where serfs were scared of the dragons outside the city walls, so they wouldn't leave and were content at their protection. It's all based on a sick domination philosophy.

Love this post :) So true, immigrants have been used as convinent tools and scapegoats since civilisation began. Like you say, a wall is a barrier and it bars access both ways.
Very true. Borders are sort of anchors if you think about it. They give you a false sense of belonging, and a strange psychological sense of duty to return 'home'. Still, even knowing this, it's very hard to escape the feeling of nationalism we've been indoctrinated with.
