      Bernie's comment on "open borders" was bad. It was politically unnecessary. It played into a right-wing nativist trap. And it was deeply misleading. 1/pic.twitter.com/sS0ROiaqjC

      Immigration flows from Mexico, for example, have never been primarily shaped by border enforcement. Rather, these flows have been the product of political-economic realities in both countries, including migrant networks/pathways shaped in significant part by US capital. 2/

      The "open borders" question is often a misleading one because it presupposes that there are only two options: a) zero border controls or b) today's dystopian reality of border militarization. Bernie can demand a *more open* border without demanding "open borders" now. 5/

      When Bernie is asked about open borders, he needs to respond: "Wrong question. In the last three decades, we have nearly quintupled the size of our Border Patrol & built hundreds of miles of border wall—a measure that I voted against in 2006. In doing so we have militarized... 6/
