When I advocate for open borders, people accuse me of being a socialist, in spite of the fact that:
- No socialist country has ever had open borders.
- Open borders is the doctrine taught in Scripture.
- The federal government is not given the power to regulate immigration in the Constitution.
- One of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence is that the king was trying to limit immigration.
- The U.S.A. had open borders until the 1920s leading to unprecedented economic growth.
But does a good socialist, who wants to control wages believe in open borders? There might be some, I don’t know, but here is Bernie himself showing that he wants to control the labor market by controlling the border.
