Could you try your best to "Steelman" the "Bordertarian" position?

Sure. I'd focus on immigrants' high Democratic share, combined with (a) the strong leftist shift of the Democrats, and (b) the idea that the Median Voter Model overstates the importance of policy relative to raw party loyalty. Since even high-skilled (and white!) immigrants lean strongly Democratic, continuing immigration has at least a 20-30% chance of durably handing woke socialists one-party control of at least the U.S. federal government.
