Biden and the Dems will never popularism themselves out of the border bind because MAGA is *right* about Democrats and open borders. Time to stop cringing from this and embrace it. Freedom of movement embodies our deepest values of liberty, democracy, equality, diversity, and justice. #OpenBorders

Every value Democrats hold dear points straight toward freedom of movement. I have written this as an #OpenBordersDemocrat. If you agree, consider sharing and endorsing likewise. Immigrants will never be free until they have faithful friends and defenders in the Democratic Party.

Democracy Demands Open Borderswww.liberalcurrents.com Every immigrant is a vote for America. Every deportation is a vote against America.

Migration *is* freedom. It is life-shaping agency. Migration is choice, self-determination, and self-authorship. Our greatest images of freedom involve flight or overcoming barriers, from Exodus and the Underground Railroad to demolishing the Berlin Wall. www.liberalcurrents.com/democracy-de...

The very idea of democracy, that each individual should have a say in the laws and institutions presiding over them, is violated by borders that trap & silence people. But every immigrant has already voted in a profound way—with their feet—in favor of their chosen home. Immigrants embody democracy.

Closed borders are racist. It is MAGA-minded bullshit to pretend it doesn't matter that our immigration policy has since the Chinese Exclusion Act been used to exclude Black and brown immigrants in furtherance of white dominance. #OpenBordersDemocrats www.liberalcurrents.com/democracy-de...

We Democrats like to talk a lot about the wonders of diversity. And rightly so! But then when it comes to immigration, we too often cower and crouch under MAGA-framed "border security" bullying. Immigration is how we get the diversity we all love! #OpenBorders www.liberalcurrents.com/democracy-de...
