Marco Rubio Calls a World Without Borders a ‘Foolish Idea’

Thanks, thanks. Thanks very a lot. The euphoria of this triumph led us to a harmful delusion — that we had entered, “the tip of historical past.” That each nation would now be a liberal democracy. That the ties fashioned by commerce and by commerce alone would now substitute nationhood. That the rules-based international order, an overused time period, would now substitute the nationwide curiosity and that we’d now dwell in a world with out borders the place everybody turned a citizen of the world. This was a silly concept that ignored each human nature and it ignored the teachings of over 5,000 years of recorded human historical past. And it has price us dearly. And within the pursuit of a world with out borders, we opened our doorways to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our tradition and the way forward for our individuals. Below President Trump, the US of America will as soon as once more tackle the duty of renewal and restoration, pushed by a imaginative and prescient of a future as proud, as sovereign and as important as our civilization’s previous. And whereas we’re ready, if crucial, to do that alone, it’s our desire, and it’s our hope, to do that along with you, our associates right here in Europe. For the US and Europe, we belong collectively.
