Why is it that you are unable to come out and say what your position on immigration is? You opened another thread that went five pages recently that was about immigration, yet you managed to never stake out your position. The closest you got was this: > [@A Pitting of the good Christians of the American Family Association](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pitting-of-the-good-christians-of-the-american-family-association/694578/185): > > Y’know, some would say that children making a hazardous journey up the length of Mexico from other Central American countries without adult guidance, should be given the benefit of the doubt on this point. > > Maybe some of these kids were from reasonably safe places, and were just out on an extended joyride. And if so, they should certainly be returned home if it is found that that is the case. But absent such knowledge, ISTM that the Christian approach would be to err on the side of mercy. This isn’t exactly black and white being in favor of open borders, but since you refuse to clarify, it’s basically the same thing. That’s the thing about many policies favored by Democrats. They can’t admit it, because they know it sounds crazy to most normal people. They just do it. You’re not in favor of unrestricted immigration. You just think that every kid from south of the border that manages to hop a train and make it up here should stay. The problem is that those are basically the same thing. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/some-very-non-pitting-questions-for-bricker/695375)._
