Nope, I don't support it. In fact I think we should severely curtail immigration and do away with the H1B visa altogether.

Plus deport the illegals already here.

I haven't heard of anyone, conservative or liberal, calling for "open borders". The question is a complete straw man.

What the hell does diversity have to do with being a liberal?
I don't pick my neighbors

Hence the reason for the thread asking liberals a simple question.
If the OP thought liberals were "this vast group that only thinks one way" then there wouldn't be a need for the thread.
See how that works?



He rarely actually answers anything. Just likes to spout off and think himself amusing.
I actually do not know a single liberal that is for it. I know some libertarians that vote as Republicans that do.

The thread title would have been better off asking conservatives then liberals.

Its literally a stupid piece of talk radio propaganda that people believe. They get lied to over and over, and just ignore it.

I am for "open borders", mostly because I am an immigrant, and apparently my economic views are moderately liberal and centrist leaning authoritarian socially. I have favored more Democrats over Republicans so I guess I count as a liberal.
The reason why I am for open borders is because I am an immigrant myself and got citizenship in 2009-2010 or so the proper way (can't remember). My belief is, how can so deny someone the right to migrate to this wonderful country when I did so myself.

I completely agree and in these forums I have been called everything from a socialist to a *******, so I guess I'm qualified to answer. I don't think open borders would ever work and I think that employers who hire undocumented people should be sent to prison for a very long time. Next question?

NAFTA destroyed the Mexican farming economy and the T1 Visa is for victims of human trafficking, not guest workers.

Farmers universally hate the farm worker visa (H2A) because it's expensive and it requires them to determine how many workers they need before they can accurately forecast their harvest. AND why should they pay for H2A visas when they can hire undocumented people with complete impunity.
