Is unlimited immigration really popular among the far left? Sounds more like a libertarian position to me.

After some quick googling I can't find any groups that support that.

I did find a poll that shows 64% of Americans support creating some path for undocumented immigrants to get legal status. I'm not sure you could call 64% a far left position though.

Here's a NYTimes article from 2020 https://archive.md/uJl8t and another from 2025 https://archive.md/5az0U. No one wants the "open borders" label but there was and still remains many who see migrants as the source of their personal salvation.

They don't "support unlimited immigration", they reject the legitimacy of national borders and of immigration as a concept.

For example here's the DSA explaining their view that the national border and immigration statuses are capitalist and imperialist tools to divide the working class: https://www.dsausa.org/blog/fighting-the-security-state-at-t...

Excellent! Thank you for finding that, my Google fu isn't as strong as it used to be.

I'm still not sure that's representative of the far left. Like I said, the more right wing libertarian position is probably the same, though for different reasons.

That this is being memory-holed, much like the ill-conceived bilingual education initiatives of the 90s, is actually a good sign, as it's proof that we're winning.
