Bidens Open Border!!!!!! It has become a standard go-to by the Guardians Of Pedophiles.

Snip
Practically since his first week in office, President Joe Biden has faced repeated criticisms from Republicans and some Democrats that his border policy amounts to open borders.This criticism is not simply inaccurate: it is unhinged from reality in a way that distinguishes itself from normal political hyperbole. Indeed, U.S. immigration policy is effectively closed borders, and Bidens immigration policies and goals are largely the same as those of President Donald Trump.
President Biden has not suddenly ended Americas immigration prohibition and opened up U.S. borders to almost anyone who wants to come (as was largely Americas immigration policy from 1776 to 1924). Instead, he has far more vigorously enforced immigration prohibition than the law requires, narrowing the few exceptions to the universal ban on legal immigration.
For example, one exception is for those facing persecution in their home countries. Biden has undisputed authority under the law to admit as many refugees from abroad as he wants. The president sets the limit and picks whoever he considers of concern to the United States. Yet Biden is on pace to admit the fewest refugees in the history of the U.S. refugee program, fewer than 10,000.

Its not too late.

Cato is disreputable in my book.
