    I think you didn’t get what he said because you have no clue what nationalistic political movements are. It’s not about borders. You can have and enforce borders and still be inclusive.

    The Pope is entirely true on this. We are replaying the early last century mistakes if we don’t care about it.

      Well, the quote I was responding to used the words “open borders” specifically. I may not understand the meaning of the term, as it is being used here, but hopefully you can understand my confusion. I didn’t realize that “open borders” meant “you can have and enforce borders.” I proceeded on the assumption that those two states exist in opposition to one another.

        I don’t know for sure but I suspect he means “open borders” in the context of welcoming/helping refugees and not treating immigrants with such xenophobia
