Streisand, the person being mocked in the picture, lives high on a cliff, not a beach.

Here try a different view of her home ...

It's the hypocrisy of the elite living in sequestered and guarded areas yet saying let anyone come in, everywhere else but where they live.

And some further reading ... this is a very near and dear and very old concern of mine,  again beginning as I mentioned at 12 years old.  I was fighting the Irvine Ranch police for access to a beach that I had a freaking key to the gate to get in.  Mutherfuggers ...  It is now the location of a ritzy little golf thingy, Pelican Hill ...

Get off my beach! How the wealthy are laying claim to California's coast

And the view today ... I lived over in the cheap shake roof homes just north of the terra cotta roofs.  Pigtail knows of this.  IIRC, she once lived in the same place as did I.  This is the beach where I learned to surf.

Nope. These things are forwarded to me, here by pm, by like minded people.  There is plenty that I don't share.  You want to see my FB page ?  I'll pm you the link if you like and you can see all the activity on it, not.  And the only reason I got that page was for a store front page for my vinyl cleaning thing that I have yet to do anything with.

So absolutely no.  There used to be only one place you could find me on the Innernet and this is it.  Now it's here and at Discogs and that is just about music.  Polytics just doesn't happen there.

Oh and being on the SPLC list is a joke as they are a joke.  I don't really care who made that meme anyway.  Its what it says that matters to me.
 
No thanks, but in order to have a FB page you still need to do "social media." Nobody says you have to share anything there, but at least you can read all the "important stuff" from pages you might like. "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more."
 
What is says, as already pointed out, is nonsense. It may of course matter to you, but it is in fact a complete non-sequitur (what is the relation between open borders and her privacy? Open borders take away your privacy?). It would be like me saying "Hey since you're against (illegal) immigration, you can't listen to any foreign music." It does not follow/compute unless you're willing to do some serious mental gymnastics.
 
My takeaway is that you don't like Streisand or the SPLC for whatever reason. That kinda makes sense.

Just in case you weren't aware, public beach access in California is a big deal.  She wants privacy ?  Living on the beach in California is the last place you can expect it.  I learned what the mean high tide line was all about as a 12 yo surfer in California back in the 60's.  That was back when the beaches were locked up and public access was truly blocked.  Can't tell you how many times I got tossed from Camp Pendleton sneaking on base to go surfing at Trestles and San Onofre.  Its now wide open to the public.

The other tricky access area back in the day is the old Hope Ranch up by Santa Barbara.  The stories told about sneaking in there are legendary.  You wanted to surf there ?  You needed a boat to make the trip.

The sample population on that is important. As the country has more and more people who have recently immigrated, wouldn't they want their families and friends and cultural brethren to come over as well?
 
As an immigrant I would say, hell no.

Maybe you should build a dome, keep out the airplanes too. Oh, maybe a complete bubble so no one will tunnel underneath?  Whatever it takes to keep the big scary world at bay right? F all these other people anyway, they weren't smart like you, being born here and all (with a big family legacy no less).

Why don't you review how many illegal immigrants have been caught at our southern border over the last few years and then tell me that the existing walls and other means of surveillance and interception haven't been working.

Actually, don't bother. I am not going to spend my Friday night trying to persuade you to look at evidence. You've already made up your mind. If I've ever changed it, you apparently have gone back to your old notions.

Well, there are, of course, two categories of people trying to come into the United States, and Trump is blending them together. One category would be cartel people. They have enough money to buy an airport and a jumbo jet and as many passports and visas as they want. We’re not going to be watching them swimming the river. The most important category are the refugees. And they’re fleeing this ungodly world of violence and exploitation that’s being set up by the cartels all through Central America and for most of Mexico. We also have many people coming in from Africa who are fleeing genocide against their ethnic minority, or, for example, a young man from Ghana who is gay and was nearly killed by a vigilante mob and who was nearly deported last week.
Borders dissolve if you have lotsa cash and know the right lawyers.
