There is no principled opposition to open borders in the Democratic Party

The Biden administration is divided into two camps on immigration, the Wall Street Journal reports. One side believes “policies aimed at deterring migrants from crossing the border don’t work,” and those on the other side “favor deterrence strategies.”

The Journal soft-pedals how radical the pro-migration wing of the Democratic Party is. Read the article yourself, and see if you can identify a single migrant that this wing of the party ever believes should be deported or turned away at the border. You can’t. The far-left radical open borders wing of the Democratic Party doesn’t believe any migrant should ever be turned away.

Say what you will about open borders, but it is at least a coherent worldview.

The same can not be said for the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party. Which illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States and which should be turned away at the border? The enforcement wing of the Democratic Party has no principled answer for this.
