Bernie Sanders is wrong on open borders; they'd help boost the economy | Cory Massimino

It's also a moral imperative for those who truly wish to help the world's poor, which the presidential candidate claims to support

Bernie Sanders has come out against open borders, claiming they are a "right-wing proposal" that "would make everyone in America poorer." He argues that, while we have a "moral responsibility" to "work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty... you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer."
