Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) told Breitbart News on Thursday morning that “we do not have a nation if we don’t have borders.”
Gabbard, appearing with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125, is among the ten Democratic presidential candidates who have qualified for the fifth debate Nov. 20.
She fielded a variety of question from Marlow, including questions about domestic policy, starting with immigration.
“The reality is that we do not have a nation if we don’t have borders,” she said. “It’s a false choice for people to say you’re anti-immigrant if you support secure borders. That’s just not the case.”
Gabbard is one of the only candidates who has opposed decriminalizing illegal immigration, and who has opposed providing free health care and free college tuition to illegal aliens.
She has criticized President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, but also departed from the radical stances of her rivals. She declared in the second Democratic presidential debate: “We will have to stop separating children from their parents, make it so that it’s easier for people to seek asylum in this country, make sure that we are securing our borders and making it so that people are able to use our legal immigration system by reforming those laws.”
On Thursday, she told Breitbart News that it was possible to achieve a balance: “I think that we can and we must have a secure border policy that’s effective and works, and also reform our immigration system so that it works for our country. It can be a safe and secure border along with humane immigration policy and achieve both objectives.”
On one hand,...she claims not to be in favor of illegal immigration. On the other hand,..she thinks that illegals are entitled to free health care once they get here.
But we do have to separate children from those those claim the children are theirs, until we know that to be true.
Most children who cross the border do not belong by blood to the people bringing them across.
I would not put it past the demonic demoncraps to have skin in the child trafficking rings or at least be sympathetic to it, given their wholesale demands for open borders with no such confirmation.
They are putting these kids at horrendous risk, so the question becomes why.
Demoncraps like Tulsi are the most dangerous, because they hide many of their treacherous beliefs in the closet. The wholesale outing of all the socialists on the dem ticket this year makes them far less dangerous. A snake in the grass is unseen and dangerous . . . a snake on the road way is easily seen and run over.
I like this gal. I hope she wins the nomination, I will have to examine her more closely. Not saying I would vote for her, vs Trump, but I would take a close look.

Simon,
do you like your 2A freedoms? If so, don't look too closely at her because she's no supporter of the Constitution as written in plain English.

Oh well, that figures. So much for voting for Tulsi. However, it is surprising to see a Dem making sense on illegal immigration.
Gabbard is a well spoken, fairly photogenic woman with a good handle on the problems with America's problem with its foreign policy in the Middle East,.....and I think she's correct on that.
But she doesn't understand what the effect on the invasion of America means.
Kaywoodie had it right when he said that Mexicans hate Gringos.
The deep state is working to displace Americans with a culture that hates us.
When they get power, it's war.
If Tulsi thinks the war in the Middle East is bad,...just wait until she gets a look at what the war in America turns into.
She's very naive.
No women in positions of power in the American government.
You can say what you want about her, and she can say what she wants to pander votes, but the fact is, she is a democrat and she WILL adhere to all democratic principals and ideals if elected.
Democrats are well known for saying what you want to hear to get elected and then doing as they please to gain power regardless of their constituents wishes.
Without your 2nd Amendment freedoms, you will have no other freedoms and we know how democrats feel about our 2nd Amendment !!!!!!!!
For the sake and well being of my country, fellow American patriots, kids, grandkids, anyone I love and care about, and future generations to come, I would never, ever, vote for a crooked, lying stinking democrat !!!!!

Go to her web page. There's lots to disagree with. She's a democrat

Yep. She's a democrat. That's all I need to know. Don't care what she says. I don't believe her. If she had any respect for the Constitution, she wouldn't be a democrat.

This is true 100%. She will lure many people in and then destroy them by voting ultra liberal.
Tulsi is a vagabond in the political world. She has no home in the Republican party and no home in the Democratic party. If she wasn't attractive she would have been out of view a long time ago.
Firstly, I appreciate her military service but see she is thin on real-world experience and elected by voters in that supposedly blissful,, constitutionally inept and politically degraded state of Hawaii. She does state some decent and sensible positions on some issues – but seems quite shady on others. And, she comes across as an angry and overly ambitious politician.
Given our current and very serious need for a President who is deeply discerning, Constitutionally principled, unselfish and courageous in leadership for the greatest good of our country – and the knowedge that there are excellent leaders out there - why even give her a second thought?
I said "I'm no fan"...you then tell me to "tell us what you like." Seriously? I won't read your link...my thoughts about her are the same as they were two hours ago. She's a total lib albeit less idiotic than the others on border security. Reading, it's fundamental.
Tulsi Gabbard is a gun grabber to the core. Just because she was in the Army doesn't mean she has respect for the Constitution. There are plenty of veterans who are in favor of "gun control."
Don't be fooled by this woman because she is attractive.

The [bleep] y'all talking about?
She's a Hawaii Democrat. Corrupt as hell and left leaning beyond imagination.
She ain't gonna sleep with you, she's gonna take your money and freedom.

Yep. Attractive women have lead many people down the wrong road.
Her appeal outside her Party is solely that she is attractive and not as far Left as the rest of her compadres. Look at her quote:

Pure political psychobabble. Put her words through Google translate Politician -English and you get -
"We can do everything and my way will be better and nicer and painless. In my world, there are no negative consequences or hard choices because I eat rainbows and fart butterflies. If that doesn't win you over, I'll give you a rah-rah 'I'm a military vet and in the Reserves, so I'm patriotic'."
The Right will like her because she's not as repulsive as Warren of kooky as the rest. Kinda like saying Steven Tyler has led a clean and sober life when compared to Keith Richards.

This is why she is a threat. Ignorance just like this. That she even gets consideration or a "closer look" is re-fugging-dickulous.

Our founding fathers were very wary of the professional standing army. Wesley Clark comes to mind. A pox upon their traitorous mercenary houses.
