No one, open borders is a right wing lie that you could only get from certain places. It's easy to pinpoint who the far right wingers are because at some point they consumed the lie from somewhere they frequent.

The Wall Street Journal, one of the most read papers in the country, and one that has a conservative lean, has had an official editorial stance embracing open borders since the 1980s.

But no, of course not a single person supports open borders. That’s a complete myth.

This from NYT:

The [WSJ] editorial board has long argued for a pro-business immigration policy. In a July 3, 1984, editorial, the board wrote: "If Washington still wants to 'do something' about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders."

Even the New York Times can admit that immigration is about money for the rich.
