    sounds like a right leaning conservative to me

    There have been leftists who were also anti-immigration. Cesar Chavez campaigned against illegal immigration as he saw those immigrants as a main source of scab labor. The main economic argument against an open border policy is that it depresses wages.

    It just happens to be that the right uses anti-immigration more as it is the easiest economic giveaway to low wage citizens.
