      Bernie Sanders, in 2015, responded with palpable disgust when @EzraKlein suggested the US had a moral obligation to adopt open borders. Bernie denounced that as a corporatist Koch plot to flood the country with cheap labor & harm American workers by lowering wages.pic.twitter.com/HtQ9q6Wr5e

      Echoing Bernie -- who insisted the first obligation is to Americans, not immigrants -- @jbouie explained in *2013* that the Black working class wants "a more restrictionist immigration regime" due to fears of job loss & lower wages: https://prospect.org/power/african-americans-view-immigration-reform/ …pic.twitter.com/88MdH1nX8z

      It's a rather stunning feat of propaganda that liberals have taken what was until *very* recently the foundational left-liberal view about immigration -- we must support restrictive borders to protect the American worker -- and turned it into a hallmark of white nationalism.

      Unless you can show where these left liberal writers & pols talk about immigrants as "dirty," inclined to shit in the streets, and brought in to replace "legacy" Americans, there's no point of comparison with Tucker Carlson.

          Right, two things happened, (a) the right wing framed the issue in explicitly racist terms (and also enitrely dropped support for a guest visa program, and (b) research came out showing immigration restrictions don't increase employment or domestic wages.

          It's also worth noting that folks like Tucker use the term 'open borders' interchangeably with 'no borders' to suggest that we love undocumented immigration.

          @ggreenwald has perfected the art of calling out the true existence of hypocrisy of Democratic Party with all of the wrong examples.
