This is a very rare occurence, but for once I am completely in agreement with Carrol.
Open borders is a minimal demand for anyone who would consider themselves "left."
Anything less than full advocacy for open borders and free migration is defense of chauvinism and privilege, period.
This is a matter that should not be negotiable for the left.
