[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you assuming OP is a liberal?

Who else wants open borders? Op could be a county club republican, but they don’t speak of it openly. Only liberals speak proudly of wanting to abolish ICE and open our borders. Also: name another country that has open borders.[/quote]

Could be a MAGA trolling.

“The abolition of borders is a basic socialist principle, but the Left has shied from claiming it as a modern policy for strategic reasons — the fear that large increases in migration flow will provoke a nativist backlash. While it might have worked in previous eras to support immigrant rights while also agreeing to strict limits on immigrant flows, the political economy of contemporary capitalism makes this combination impossible today. On the other hand, a call for open borders based on appeals to morality and liberal values will not attract workers motivated by economic concerns. This essay shows the possibility of a strategy calling for open borders and immigrant rights based on workers’ material interests, not just moral pleas.”

[b]The article is up for examination, not the intent of the op.[/b][/quote]

1) You should always try to understand WHO is behind any particular message and also understand their INTENTIONS. Hasn’t 2016 taught you anything?

2) A few posters have already assumed OP is a liberal and I’m questioning that.

I’m guessing MAGA troll until OP proves otherwise.
