It would be far better if, instead of doing this, the left was simply honest with people as to the challenges that immigration can sometimes bring with it. It is perfectly possible to do that and make the argument that there are better ways of dealing with it than border controls. Instead, it has become fashionable to treat people as fools, and pretend that it makes no difference if ten people are chasing every job and if nine of them are from some poor Eastern European country.
