Was a right wing position

To have it open

And then Trump changed it to controlled borders

And then a bunch of lefties changed their minds

and when did that happen?

i need citations for that lol

Over the course of the Trump campaign and presidency

Look it up: Koch brothers promoting open borders

And that's because:

Surprise surprise

Trump is largely your classical 80s Democrat

Now, if you're wondering *why* it used to be a right wing thing

That was because illegals were a convenient way to get cheap labor

And it was the Dems at the time calling it inhumane and saying citizens shouldnt lose jobs

It was an economic "Right Wing" position, not cultural/nationalist Right Wing position.

...just not nationalist

Cultural I dont think applies here

Cultural Right Wing as in Social Conservatives and Paleoconservatives

Pat Buchanan and co.

Again

Culturally it could go either way generally speaking

I read a few articles and the Koch brothers don't seem to be exactly "open borders", they even stated this: "The president has a duty to enforce the nation’s immigration laws." They did support borders, they were only against the deportation of illegal immigrants. Which, sure, isn't super right leaning, but is 100% not complete open borders. Although if I misread it, feel free to correct me.

You could go for the "govt dont tell me what to do" sort of culture

Uh-oh: Silicon Valley is building a Chinese-style social credit system
In China, scoring citizens’ behavior is official government policy. U.S. companies are increasingly doing something similar, outside the law.

But generally even many economic right wingers don't go as far as open borders

They are pragmatic on this issue

Even Bernie knows this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0

Open borders only really benefits big companies since it just gives them access to cheap labour

It's mostly pushed by Neoliberals like Hillary Clinton than libertarians. But yes, open borders is a theoretical libertarian position, just that not many of the grassroots libertarians support it.

Bernie isn't really super left, so I don't expect him to support a sort of radical position like full on open borders

I'd go as far as to say that he isn't even moderate left

Open borders is not compatible with a soc dem welfare state

And Sanders is a socdem

"Moderately radical"

Bernie Sanders is mainly just a Social Democrat, Not even really an extreme one
