Open Border Conservatives Speak Out
Amidst outrage over illegal immigration, some self-identified conservatives who see a bright side to open borders have been speaking up. "These are economic migrants," said Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, speaking at the Cato Institute. "We have the jobs. They need the work. Let them come legally." Riley is one of several conservatives who dissent from the movement as a whole on the issue of illegal immigration. He argued that there are substantial economic motives for legalizing aliens and referred to border control as "Soviet-style central planning."

A member of the WSJ board is conservative , doesn`t sound like it .
