Fascinating. Democrats are now for open borders? Autumn May 2019 #4

Nobody is for open borders. But claiming that we can't afford to admit immigrants The Velveteen Ocelot May 2019 #10

He was discussing open borders. Like Obama he understands that we need to have border security, Autumn May 2019 #18

But nobody is advocating for open borders, so it's a straw man argument. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2019 #19

It doesn't matter, really. He said it. MineralMan May 2019 #52

Yeah he should have told the guy he didn't "have the time to completely lay out all the details." Autumn May 2019 #57
