      The liberal/left intelligentsia increasingly seems to be lurching toward an “all immigration controls are inherently oppressive” position, which is fine, but they’ll eventually discover that large segments of the Dem coalition, including organized labor, are not exactly on board

      You definitely have his whole "any criticism of immigration system means open borders" shtick down pat.

      Do you not detect an increasingly prevalent strain of thought on the liberal/left that regards as oppressive most if not all immigration controls? I’m not even criticizing the position per se, at it has a noble provenance

      I think Obama's record of mass deportations (which was shameful) more salient for where Democratic party is like than randos on internet dissing borders.

      She’s a writer for The Baffler and a member of DSA which is why I thought she was illustrative of my point about the emerging left intelligentsia. Clearly the institutional Dem party is a long ways from embracing border abolitionism. But the intelligentsia is a leading indicator.

      Well, I hope the Baffler & DSA do start setting the agenda for the Dems. But it's early days yet.

          Hahaha. Yes, leading indicators. Like the Baffler, that massive influence on liberal policy makers.
