Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

    I’m curious for everyone downvoting, what do you want for immigration reform?

    I don’t think open borders could work, and if we don’t have open borders, we need some mechanism to enforce our immigration policy.

    Note: this question stems from the parent comment, I know the article is about a green card holder. I also find the way he was treated as inhumane for any person regardless of immigration status.

      I do not think you will get an honest answer because people are just fueled by emotion and triggered. The biggest double standard in regards to immigration is that the US should be open border but everyone else should continue to look down at Americans as tourists and treat them as such. While restricting americans and being stingy at them when they arrive to their country and assimilate immediately.

      But when we do it then it is xenophobic and people carting out the old “your country has always been ran by immigrants” and blah blah blah. Two faced people I swear.

        I don’t even know if I’ve heard many people actually calling for open borders. However, it’s one of the major policy areas that I don’t really know what the democratic party’s stance really is. Maybe I just need to read more into it.
