Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction?
"Michelle Malkin’s latest book is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the forces and interests behind the open borders and mass migration lobby." —Pawel Styrna, ImmigrationReform.com Follow the money, find the truth. That’s Michelle Malkin’s journalistic mantra, and in her stunning new book, Open Borders Inc., she puts it to work with a shocking, comprehensive exposé of who’s behind our immigration crisis. In the name of compassion—but driven by financial profit—globalist elites, Silicon Valley, and the radical Left are conspiring to undo the rule of law, subvert our homeland security, shut down free speech, and make gobs of money off the backs of illegal aliens, refugees, and low-wage guest workers. Politicians want cheap votes or cheap labor. Church leaders want pew-fillers and collection plate donors. Social justice militants, working with corporate America, want to silence free speech they deem “hateful,” while raking in tens of millions of dollars promoting mass, uncontrolled immigration both legal and illegal. Malkin names names—from Pope Francis to George Clooney, from George Soros to the Koch brothers, from Jack Dorsey to Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg. Enlightening as it is infuriating, Open Borders Inc. reveals the powerful forces working to erase America.

Exceptionally well researched, and well written book. Very interesting, and a book Americans need to get familiar with. Michelle injects humor periodically, that is very funny. It is critical that Christian Americans get to know this subject and stand against those who break our sovereign authority. This is literally the most threatening act that will ruin the U.S.A.

This is journalist Michelle Malkin’s third book on the immigration crisis. This time she focuses on the groups & individuals who support open borders and illegal immigration - antifa, the SPLC, George Soros, Hollywood liberals, etc. - and the Democrats who enable them. The book is scrupulously researched with abundant supporting documentation included in the appendices. A disturbing expose.

I had such a difficult time reading this book. I became so angry and so outraged that numerous times I had to figuratively put the book down and cool off. Several times I cried. My grandparents immigrated -- legally -- from Germany/Ukraine. With the $125 they had in their pockets, they bought a small plot of land in North Dakota, farmed it and raised a few cattle and chickens. They had 12 children, 9 of whom lived, AND NEVER TOOK A DIME IN ANY KIND OF A HANDOUT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. Their children were prohibited from speaking German, even at home. They are my heroes; the likes of George Soros, et al, aren't good enough to kiss their feet. God help us all if we don't wake up to the moral and intellectual bankruptcy that is threatening to destroy the most liberating country the world has ever known. Go Trump.

Illegal immigration is all around big business. I was dumbfounded how in depth the infrastructure is to support, encourage, and promote illegal immigration to the United States. From business, NGO's, activist groups, and even the Catholic Church via a variety of Catholic charities. This is a well referenced book and supports its points quite well that illegal immigration is bad for America. Bad for our social and criminal justice systems, our economy, and our national security. While not an entertaining read it's certainly eye opening.
One of the most interesting things referenced is how pro illegal immigration groups had to get together in order come up with a strategy against those who oppose them. They have to paint anyone who disagrees with open borders and mass illegal immigration as "haters," "bigots," and "racist." When nothing could be further from the truth. This is a tactic successfully used to insulate these groups from any challenge or question as to what they're really doing. Many of these groups are opposed to U.S. sovereignty, some are groups promoting a Hispanic racial superiority, some who openly want to invade the U.S. and dominate the southwest especially. Americans should be aware of what's going on and know who many of these promoters are. Books like this will help give an honest picture of this issue.
The author shows how mass media and these groups deceptively show us one side of illegal immigration. Often they use fake photos or stories to garner support for their cause. (talk about a red flag) We're never informed of anything other than carefully crafted stories, or any of the real and sometimes dark things illegal immigration brings to the U.S. We're only allowed sympathy for the tragedies that might befall illegal immigrants, but not the tragedies that befall American citizens as a result of illegal immigration or sanctuary cities.
I walk away from this book knowing that this no doubt a complicated issue. But we are only told this issue requires some odd form of one sided compassion. When really it also requires discernment and a valid call to secure our country henceforth. I highly recommend this book.

Though I considered myself a conservative when I started reading this title, I couldn't place blame on any refugees for wanting a better life for their families, even if that meant illegally crossing the border of one country into another. If the situations were switched, and I had no better options, I reasoned I would probably do the same.
Yet, as Lester Freamon famously waxes in The Wire, "You follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. But you start to follow the money, and you don't know where the f**k it's gonna take you."
Michelle Malkin follows the money and unearths many disturbing truths: that the refugee crisis is a Big Business paid for by many parties, (drug cartels, George Soros, and the UN just to name a few) with the goal of destabilizing our country. Malkin doesn't go into the 'whys' because she is not a mind reader, but she shows us the 'hows' by connecting the money dots and proving that it is by design!
The outcome of this large movement of people? Higher taxes to pay for illegals in sanctuary cities like New York! Escalating violence between racial groups thanks to catch and release laws! Corrupt politicians ensuring that large groups are relocated to their states! And the media brainwashes us to
forget that we even have a country worth protecting, and start to think that all borders (especially our own) are arbitrary!
"How can some poor refugees impact and destabilize the entire country?" Asks the open minded liberal. "They just want a better life for their family."
To be as succinct as possible without writing my own book I have to start with a preposterous sounding premise: the relocation of a large group of people is an act of war because it is act of invasion. (Just to be clear: Mexico is not declaring war on us; it is the Globalists.)
You see this fact repeated throughout history: The Americas were colonized by Europeans. What was once a city in Christendom called Constantinople is now a Muslim stronghold in Turkey called Istanbul. Everyone is familiar with the Israel/Palestine conflict. France is importing Muslims who make it no secret that they plan to colonize the country. Mark my words, in a coup similar to Iran in 1979, *poof* France, once a Catholic nation, is under Sharia law, the natives a minority in the country their ancestors founded.
This is happening to America.
When massive amounts of people are illegally (or legally) relocated, they maintain their self interest by keeping their culture and language. Inevitably, their problems follow from their homelands. Ex: The MS-13 gang is not native to Long Island, and yet they are slaying kids and recruiting members in high schools. These are our problems now.
Media elites are trying to normalize illegal invasion because they don't have to deal with the violence and rising taxes that middle class, legal citizens do. Malkin shows how they profit off the chaos by keeping Americans blind to the real truth.
I wasn't a real conservative when I began reading. Being conservative literally means conserving the nation's prosperity and safety for our children and our children's children.
To selfishly end what our ancestors created for us because we feel bad about how they (our ancestors) betrayed our modern standards of "diversity and equality" is retarded and suicidal. If we care about our homeland and our posterity, we can use our modern standards to end this invasion legally and civilly, before our invaders decide that the old ways of conquering are more efficient.

A remarkably detailed and well researched analysis of who is funding and perpetuating the push to open America’s borders. This is a must read for anyone who wants to be in the conversation about modern day immigration. If you’re a patriotic American this book will make you feel angry, sad, even hopeless when you see the absurd amount of money and resources normal Americans are up against when trying to save our nation’s sovereignty. It is not a whitepilling book.
Another downside is that the reading can get a little dry. It’s essentially 300 pages of acronym agencies and NGO’s, who’s funding them, and what they’re doing to destroy our country. Malkin does a good job of breaking up the monotony with side bars and the occasional endearing mom joke but it can still get a bit wearisome and overwhelming at times.
All things considered, this is a book Americans (and probably Europeans too) need to read. It’s palatable to the average person, completely optical, and gives a thorough breakdown of the masterminds behind the border crisis and unfettered mass immigration.

The fact that the government is doing a lousy job of securing our borders will come as no surprise to anyone that has been paying the slightest bit of attention for the past decade. The number of ways the government is ASSISTING with illegal immigration with our tax dollars may blow your mind.
If you are the type of person that believes children are being separated from their parents and kept in cages you will not enjoy this illusion shattering collection of facts.
I recommend the audiobook due to how dry statistics and acronyms can become.
The narration was excellent. Pamela Almand made short work of the maze of government's convoluted program titles.

Chilling. The "destruction" in this book's context is the flood of immigrates flooding into the USA and other countries illegally who are supported by questionable funding and reporting, i. e. media.
The first half of this text is the narrative. The second half is composed of Appendixes listing the myriad of facts and footnotes supporting Michelle Malkin's research.
The prime messages to be drawn from this work are simple and really, common sense. Verify facts as reported by the various media, including social media. Know where your money really goes before you donate to charitable organizations.

Michelle Malkin has written an extremely well-documented, logical and persuasive explanation of teh argument against allowing illegal immigration. It hasn't and won't matter, except to educate those who wish to seek truth. The forces conspiring to encourage it are too well funded and reinforced by their hurls of racism towards any who wish to see law and order, and sovereignty, maintained in the US. It's a depressing read, despite Malkin suggesting actions for the reader. I will read some of the reviews from the haters, and some from the on-the-fence crowd to see if I can understand their position, but the immigration situation will remain bad and get worse for at least three more years.
February 24, 2020
Incredibly well researched. I had no idea how vast and deep the open borders initiatives ran. Shocked at the funding sources; most people are clueless about where their charitable donations to seemingly wholesome American charities are actually going.

Very extensive about facts. It's a tiring read.

Malkin's investigation exposes a vast apparatus of orgs aiding and abetting the illegal immigration crisis. She shows that many of these NGO and "non-profit" networks are government funded. It's enraging to read how embedded our tax dollars are in human trafficking schemes, cartel payoffs, corrupt legal orgs assisting illegal immigrants fight criminal charges, lobbying efforts to subvert immigration law, etc.
There's a constellation of grant-funded orgs devoted to pipelining thousands of "refugees" into communities without their consent. After the inevitable skyrocketing of violent crime that results from these resettlements, some states have tried to defy the federal govt to protect their communities, only for NGOs to circumvent the state by working with the feds to resettle "refugees" through subcontracting schemes the state doesn't have jurisdiction over.
Malkin exposes the attack on American sovereignty the illegal immigration and "refugee" resettlement programs represent. While published in 2019, everything she claims has been shown to be true, especially with DOGE investigating federal programs that were set up to support the invasion we are facing.
The second half details the collusion between the media, Hollywood, groups such as the SPLC to whip up a narrative that recasts nationalism as "hate speech" and border security as fascist. And how this is used to censor anyone who opposes mass immigration and to slander them as hate-mongering racists. The social media censorship she describes in 2019 (that the companies denied was happening) has all been exposed to be true.
I'd recommend this, but with the caveat that it should be read as supplemental material since it's focused on the organizations that fund and coordinate the mass immigration crisis, but not a good overview of the crisis itself. Ann Coulter's book Adios, America! is a good starting point. It's the book that inspired Trump's fiery anti-immigration campaign rhetoric in 2016 (and the issue that won him the presidency). I'd also recommend Pat Buchanan's Death of the West as the ESSENTIAL redpill on this issue.

Phenomenal. If you’re a true Patriot of America, this book should be in your lap ASAP. With a critical election cycle coming in 2020, you need to be informed on illegal immigration and the big business it is.
Michelle Malkin gives expert reporting with facts that can’t be denied. Illegal immigration isn’t humanitarian, in fact it’s quite the opposite. Governments, NGOs, Churches, Cartels and Politicians make huge money off the backs of the Taxpayer in a fake promise of amnesty or refugee resettlement.
Unvetted immigration is going to lead to the demise of our country, and if you want to learn the facts to stop out any pro-illegal immigration/ open borders supporters, read this book. You’ll learn what’s really going on and how to stop it.
Don’t let a progressive socialist fool you; illegal immigration does not support human rights. It supports Big government, banks, and foreign influence in our country.

It’s too bad she reports like a demagogue
It is very hard to read this book with an open mind. Even conservative readers will find her tone overbearing. The topic is good. The facts behind it are invariably accurate but her tone makes the whole thing boring and annoying at the same time. She is obviously of the school of
‘tell the people what you are going to tell them (in detail), tell them and remind them.
She is proud of her other books constantly reminding the reader of her earlier works. Tiring.
The only reason I didn’t give the book one star is the topic is too real. We are dearly in danger of losing are rights and freedoms to the protagonists in this book. We need to preserve this great country and not let the left wing internationalist take it from us.

Really good and well researched. The author highlights the hypocrisy and bias found in NGOs, major corporations, social media platforms, antifa, and her favorite to expose- the SPLC. Even as someone who considers herself knowledgable on the topic of immigration, I still felt it was very eye opening! It really goes beyond immigration and discusses the silencing of conservative America using a variety of techniques.

This is really just a thinly-veiled conspiracy theory. The research for some points was good, however, the writing was mostly just incendiary rhetoric and name-calling.

A fascinating and revealing tale of exploitation. It is shocking how NGO's and big corporations are exploiting the illegal alien crisis right along with the cartels and drug gangs!
January 26, 2026
Wowsers! Excellent book but it pissed me off reading it! The fraud and corruption happening in our country. I’m for immigrants coming here but doing it the legally way only! Too many bad groups funded by Soros, the Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church. Need to be careful of who you donate $ to! It’s a real shame that so many support the illegals. I question asylum seekers and refugees. They need to be vetted properly! Too many come here who have lied and then do things against our laws. People need to wake up to the globalists who want to take over our country to get complete control of the people! Well that’s not America! America is for freedoms, life, liberty and pursuit of happiness as long as one does it legally and assimilates!
My parents came here legally in 1962. They had to sign papers to not ask for government assistance. They didn’t come here for that. They came here for job opportunities. They have since become US citizens and did it legally. They have assimilated and are proud Americans and living the American Dream!

The book is remarkably researched and incredibly detailed; an admirable journalistic achievement ... never have so many acronyms and so much political jargon been gathered in one place, it can be overwhelming for the novice just trying to get some basic insights into a serious problem ... the book is well done, totally necessary, seriously important and, quite simply, terrifying

The children of immigrants now grown up pick up the Olympic torch: "we" have to do something against the scourge of immigration.

Extremely well-written, well-documented expose on the illegal alien racket not nearly acted on enough by the agencies entrusted with stopping these invading leeches.
