I offer this set of quotes along with my personal view that immigration is a fraught and complex subject, one filled with difficult to formulate policy. It results in many instances of heartbreak and unfairness. What I can conclude is that anyone who has a simplistic view of immigration is not being thoughtful or honest. Take a look at these quotes by prominent Democrats.
What is stunning about these quotes is that they represented the clear consensus of the DNC Complex (DNC, corporate media and most sense-making institutions in the US) for decades. Then, all of a sudden, all of these politicians have flipped 180° without any explanation. Nor any interest in the reason for the 180 by the Corporate media. In my article, I provide links to dozens videos featuring these same politicians, and others, offering opinions completely contrary to their current positions. This is further evidence that the DNC position is completely contrary to what it appears to be today. Again, without any explanation of why the DNC has flipped its position entirely.
The only thing I can say for certain is that these unexplained flips are direct evidence that this process of flipping is not organic. I suspect the following: NGO or donor money, power, attempts to pad the voter rolls (and see here and here and here and here and here and here) and tribalism. This much is certain: Normal honest people don't completely flip their opinions on major long-held positions without explanation.
Consider further, the video excerpts of prominent Democrats who are stating policy positions most people today would characterize as "Republican":
