Pete Buttigieg actually supports a moderate, commonsense immigration policy

Most Republicans want to build a wall. Meanwhile, the Left increasingly wants open borders. Just ask Keith Ellison, the Democratic congressman from Minnesota, who posed wearing a shirt that read “I don’t believe in borders.”

Yet, both of these policies are recklessly irresponsible, and neither can stand against the facts about immigration. Luckily, there are a few voices of sanity among the crowd. If South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the Democratic presidential candidate from Indiana, meant what he said in a recent tweet, he could be the only candidate so far with a solid stance on immigration issues. His website and platform may remain underdeveloped and vague, but if he sticks to the broad stance he’s taken so far on immigration, he’s on the right track.
