Unless you get "grandfathered in"[1].
> Bernie Sanders: Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal.
> Ezra Klein: Really?
> Bernie Sanders:Of course. That's a right wing proposal which says essentially there is no United States.
> Ezra Klein: But it would make ...
> Bernie Sanders: Excuse me ...
> Ezra Klein: It would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it?
> Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer, you're doing away with the concept of a nation state and I don't think there's any country in the world which believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right wing people in this country would love is an open border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for 2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that.
