The Orange County Register operates an "Issue Blog", and yesterday Erin Carlyle offered 'WSJ editorial writer attacks illegal immigration "myths"' (peekURL.com/z6xhh1s) all about the thoughts of open borders (literally) advocate Jason Riley. I left the comment that's in the extended entry; it hasn't appeared but four others have. I sent an email asking why it wasn't approved and I haven't heard back. I also tried to submit it again and Wordpress told me that a duplicate comment had been detected. Now, I know as well as anyone else that technical issues can arise, and due to the link in the comment (left without the http part however) it might have been put into their spam folder, but hopefully my follow-up email could have caused them to root around in that folder and approve it. I also don't think it's that groundbreaking a comment, but I'm just wondering.
UPDATE: It took a few days, but eventually they approved the comment.
I'm also not aware of him discussing this from a political POV. The current situation gives a tremendous amount of power to the far-left, racial power groups, the Mexican government, and others. No one who isn't far-left should support giving more power to the first group. No one who believes in American ideals should support giving more power to the second group. And, no patriotic American should support giving more power inside the U.S. to a foreign government.
The bottom line for the WSJ is the bottom line: they're willing to sell out the U.S. if some very small segment of supposed Americans can make money on the deal.
