No one in the left promotes or desires open borders.  What they have talked about is treating migrants with dignity and respect instead of hate.  Stop with talking about them like they are all serial killers. Understand that the vast majority simply want the chance at a better life at their families. the border being “open” is a narrative Republicans and right wing media made up. If we had an open border why would we employ ICE and CBP people?  Why would there be lines at passport controls?  There are nearly 2 million encounters with migrants each year at the border.  2/3rds of the border encounters result in immediate expulsion.
The whole open borders narrative gets promoted in the home countries setting the stage for migration.  But hey, as much as they “complain” about open borders, Republicans would far rather undercut a Democrat’s presidency than actually do something about solving the problem.  The Republican controlled House had done nothing concerning immigration.

2) migrants head for large cities, sanctuary or otherwise.  Cities have jobs.  Cities have existing immigrant populations.  You can get “lost” in a large city whereas a newcomer stands out in rural or less populated areas.  There is safety in the anonymity of a large city.

3) the illegal immigration issue will never get solved until we fix our broken legal immigration system which is still designed with more favorable policies towards European immigrants instead of regional.

You probably right, you don't believe in Open Borders. It's  now called "LET THEM ALL IN" and since you don't believe in enforcing the existing deportation laws, there is little consequence to coming here Illegally. Want in Quicker? Bring a kid with you, and Advance to NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, etc, and collect $400.
