One thing that liberals/progressives get horribly wrong is thinking that you can have open borders (without any controls) and a generous social safety net. The two are not compatible.[/quote]
I read a lot of liberal/progressive publications. I almost never see open borders supported. It’s not totally absent, but it is not a standard part of any liberal/progressive agenda. It rarely gets mentioned as a serious policy item.[/quote]
SK, check out the link that I posted with the interview. The topic of open borders might not be on the lips of many American progressive politicians, but that’s because they know that even the most liberal/progressive voters usually don’t want open borders. If a politician were to propose it, they would be out the door in an instant.
But it IS on the lips of those advocating for illegal immigrants in the U.S. This has long been a key component of their agenda. As they become more politically powerful here, you will begin to hear about it more. They already have the Democrats, and they are making serious inroads with the Republicans. It’s only a matter of time before it is openly on the agenda.
