Open border

October 29, 2024 by Guest Post

by John Schneeberger, Hamilton

Under Biden and Harris we have an open border with Mexico, right? No. Take a minute to investigate and you’ll find that the border is militarized and has more border patrol agents than ever before. Millions of people have been turned away or deported to Mexico throughout the Biden administration, even those not from Mexico. By definition this is not an open border. Though it might not be technically true, “the truth” is not important in identity politics. If you are part of an aggrieved group, such as MAGA voters, you must have “your truth” unchallenged. This is why Democrat candidates never correct it when they say, “open border.” Today, people’s feelings are what’s important, especially the feelings of swing voters in communities affected by illegal immigration. Are your feelings, “your truth”, more important than “the truth”?

    Check the Border patrol site for illegal crossings John, It’s been open for 3 1/2 years ever since Biden’s first day when he, like a petulant child overturned 94 Trump Policies with Executive orders.
    The Facts don’t lie.
