Morrissey's facebook post on the Manchester bombing didn't get into the details of why he opposed Islamic State - he was denouncing the UK state for not doing enough to stop it & a public inquiry turned up failings in policing & in intel, which includes not keeping a close enough eye on people who had been training abroad.
People jumped on the word 'immigration' & read their own culture war opinions into - he's not in the culture war. He's doesn't interact online & you have to interact online in order to know the correct way to express your opinions this second.
He made it clear after that Orlando shooting that religious homophobia was an issue (& it chimes with his remarks about all organised religion) - he also made it clear that he didn't think religions should be allowed a veto over animal welfare or over things that impact women like fgm... Unlike the far right who USE these issues - he's had a long-standing interest in them.
Open borders mean no borders - not lifting whole country bans on entry.
& he doesn't even like strict border controls, he'd just like them to keep out actual dangers, not harass people - this was him in 2016:
It doesn’t take much to be thrown into a cell at LAX! You will notice that the Immigration Officers are persistently ordering you to ‘stand there’, which is a test to see if you will bow to their orders. If you say — as I did — ‘No. I’m perfectly OK where I am’, then they throw you into a cell for three hours because you are not frightened of them. They went through my belongings and took $150 out of my wallet; they kept the money and said ‘This is what saying ‘No’ has cost you’ — which of course was illegal on their part. But they can be as illegal as they wish. Incidentally, when I arrived in Sydney last year the officer at Passport Control did her best to insult me and to cause a scene when there was no need. I refused to take the bait because she was so rude, and so she threw my passport at me and looked away in disgust! I thought, ‘Wow, welcome to Australia!’ They use the ISIS issue as an excuse to denigrate everyone, and they absolutely love it.

Personally I think he's just a muddled leftie who doesn't follow fashion.
