The frank advocacy of open borders is now so radioactive that even the open-borders editorial page of The Wall Street Journal will no longer associate itself with it (once upon a time, the paper routinely called for an open-borders amendment to the U.S. Constitution). Talk of open borders has consequentially retreated behind closed doors. In public, everyone so inclined favors "comprehensive immigration reform," which always includes higher levels of legal immigration and fig-leaf enforcement measures, as a step toward the unmentionable  and almost certainly unachievable  goal.
