    What Nagle haters won't reckon with: Bernie Sanders (https://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/bernie-sanders-and-immigration-its-complicated-119190 …) and Jeremy Corbyn (https://newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2017/07/jeremy-corbyn-wholesale-eu-immigration-has-destroyed-conditions-british …) have advocated immigration restriction measures in the very recent past. Suddenly those positions have become verboten, without enough examination as to why

        it's worth reading that New Statesman article in detail – what Corbyn says is significantly different from the spin the magazine puts on it. he argues against rules allowing firms to import labour on substandard pay/conditions. that isn't "advocating immigration restriction".

        I remember the reporting of that at the time being typically poor. It specifically blamed employment agencies rather than immigrants and described the abuse of the posted workers directive, which is something unions have been campaigning against for a while.

        Is the explanation that necessary? Once the "unclean ones" of the right adopted the point, pious lefties immediately had to shun it out of spite. Piety over policy, the House will probably do the same once Trump brings forward his infrastructure plan.

        Lol. The left has always been in favor of open borders and freedom of movement. It's basic socialist internationalism.

        totally honest q, what would be an ethical immigration stance? I see ethical issues in those wanting to restrict immigration, but don't know what the proper counter to it would be.
