I have been to a couple of their events and I have never seen a participant who was obviously not Caucasian.
Which is ironic because the “open borders” movement really only exists amongst Libertarians. I’m aware that there is a strong xenophobic movement in Tea Party / Lib folks.
Fair enough. I’ll admit to at least the possibility of some confirmation bias or observer effect or the sort here: While I do go out of my way to avoid echo-chamber silliness I’ve never heard (here in the US) of the open border movement outside of libertarian circles.
I wouldn’t fault you for not having heard of it; most liberals aren’t far enough left/don’t put enough thought into the specific issue of immigration to have such a policy; and while I’d imagine that the “international” part of international socialism is where the idea comes from I’d be pretty surprised if less than 80% of US citizens holding such beliefs identified as libertarians. I simply run in different circles.

I’m in AZ, by the way. Home of SB1070.
Open borders is also a movement among international socialsts.
