The Wall Street Journal was always pro-illegal. Now they are owned by Fox/News Corp/Saudia.
I remember a table-pounding WSJ editorial, 15 years ago or so, that demanded in the most strenuous language, that the GOP platform have a plank added:
The Constitution of the United States shall be amended to read, "There shall be open borders."
They backed off that truculence after 9/11.
They've always toed the line on wage-breaking by their best readers.
