The Democratic Case for Restricting Immigration is Alive and Well, Unfortunately that Democratic Party is Not

It’s hard to believe nowadays, but the modern immigration reform movement, which promotes limited immigration and strong enforcement of immigration laws, was once closely associated with the center-left in the United States. Liberal icons from the not-too-distant past such as Senators Gaylord Nelson and Eugene McCarthy were among those who championed limited immigration because such policies were (and remain) consistent with their liberal values.
That Democratic Party is now extinct. Concern about the impact of mass immigration – legal and illegal – on working people, education, social services, the environment, and social cohesion is not just taboo in the modern Democratic Party, it is a crime against the doctrine of intersectionality.
