    If any Liberal on here truly believes in open borders and allowing anyone who wants to come to the United States to come here completely unvetted, would you be open to a National registry where your name and Home address is published, which allows immigrants to freely find and move into your home for you to support. It's either put up or shut up, these Democratic candidates need to open their front doors and allow any homeless person or illegal to move in with them. Any Liberals on here like this idea.

    Your “source” reads like a poorly thought out rant.
    The only person from your “source” that even remotely reads as an open border advocate is Harris.

    Never met anyone on this board who wants open borders or allowing just anyone to come here - so you seem to be talking to yourself ... I'll let you get on with it. If you are hearing voices in your head claiming they want completely open borders, I suggest seeking other options than posting here.

    Open borders are almost universally opposed, the different political spectrums just disagree on how to stop it and how to treat them once they arrive.

    Why we have to have posters like @TheAngryLiberal distort the facts and turn it into an even bigger diversion is beyond me, it’s almost like they have a larger political agenda or something...

    Then why is nothing done about "just anybody" coming here? Basically we have open borders right now. The left (all of it) seems to cheer it on.

    I guess it depends on the definition of "Open Borders." To me, it means anyone who actually gets in the country gets to stay. So which Democratic candidate supports the current (but on hold) ICE strategy to deport thousands of people who have already had their day in court and have gotten their final deportation order?

    Is there a single one who supports it?

    Sorry I don't buy that. They are almost universally opposed by conservatives while liberals try to hurry the "path to citizenship" to get all those votes. I think you are in denial.

    Well! what ever system we have right now, IT AIN'T WORKIN, so why all the opposition to building a Wall to make it more difficult to sneak into the country. We have Sanctuary cities that protect illegals, so why don't the Liberals who support this just open up their front doors and let um come in and live with them.

    I’ve actually had conversations — and listened — to both conservatives and liberals on the issue. I don’t care what you “buy”. Conservatives may be against it when it is time to vote but they do almost nothing but symbolic gestures while they actually have the power to make change.

    That's like saying anyone who gets into your House, gets to stay. There have been a few stories of people on vacation who come home and find squatters have set up residency in their homes that they broke into illegally.

    Well I think that's where the current Democratic Party is now; once you're in, you're in.

    That is a completely different issue. You are referring to congress. Congress doesn't do anything. We all know that. Every member is afraid to lose a single vote because of how they vote. So they avoid voting. Yes, we have an incompetent and corrupt congress on both sides of the aisle. Support single term limits.

    So does the right. It’s why they never do anything about it. The right controlled congress and the whitehouse for the last 2 years, and did exactly nothing about it.

    Conservatives do not oppose it either. It’s why nothing was done the last 2 years when the GOP controlled Congress and the whitehouse.

    Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of deportees every year. If there was an "open border policy" perhaps you can explain why the CBP is twice the size of the FBI, making it the largest federal police force.

    The right (all of it) seems to champion fear over fact. See how stupid such blanket pronouncements can be? Or is it that your's aren't stupid and the left's all are?

    You may not want open borders, but the Democratic Party leaders are 100% determined to pursue that path. Elect a Democrat, and that’s what you’ll get.

    Republicans are slightly better on this issue, but not much.

    Washington doesn’t give a rat’s ass about this. They’re fiddling as Rome is burning.

    No question the republicans do nothing just as well as the democrats. But they don't cheer the situation on.

    The idea is to prevent them coming. Currently we incentivize illegal immigration. Eliminate the incentive and we can less CBP Deportations are done by ICE, not CBP.

    I think you are wrong about that. Many democrats are willing to get in the way of law enforcement to protect illegal immigration. California is a "sanctuary" state.

    The democrats have nothing to offer Americans.

    Now they are busy actively courting a constituency from another country.

    What a ridiculous statement !

    No Dem , Independent or Republican wants open borders !

    Turn off Breitbart and Hannity if you believe what you're hearing ...............

    Trump has really increased the number of illegals coming into the USA by his actions pandering to his small base.

    Instead of threatening everyone and getting no results Trump needs to begin working with the countries of origins increasing incentives not to Leave

    However Trump has done the opposite............... cutting off Funding ...........then having to spend 1000 X more to bandage the outcome here

    More Trump stupid ............. makes for great one Liners at his Rally's ....... Sad

    sanctuary states simply don’t permit state funds and resources to be used enforcing federal laws. That is federal law enforcements job. Democrats do not cheer illegal immigration.

    I like how you qualify your response to just the people on this board.

    Do you deny the left meets the illegals at the border with lawyers, has sanctuary cities, encourages illegals to come here by throwing benefits and free medical care at them, wants to abolish ICE, alerts them when ICE is coming, helps them escape from court houses, and even goes as far as making it politically incorrect for a person to say he's against illegals? Jesus, you guys on the left, maybe not you but others have called anyone who wants border security a racist and hater of brown people.

    And for what it's worth, O'Rourke was interviewed by CNN on Rim Rd in El Paso and literally said he would tear down the fence which helps protect El Paso from the violence in Juarez. That was the day his bid for the presidency died.
