Joe Biden Doesn't Have an 'Open Border' Policy, so Why Do Republicans Say Otherwise?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden's first year in office has seen authorities encounter almost 1.8 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, prompting conservative leaders to lambast his administration for its "dangerous open border policy."

In late December 2021, during a segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight, FOX News titled its report on migration at the border as "Biden's open-border policy is reckless and dangerous." And in November, the House GOP published an article titled Biden's Open Border Policies Have Deadly Consequences.

While usage of the phrase "open border" has become more popular, with both Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Senator Ted Cruz invoking the term when offering critiques of the administration, those who study the situation say their usage of the term is incorrect.

Rebecca Hamlin, who studies immigration politics as a professor with the University of Massachusetts Amherst and wrote a book on the labeling of migrants, told Newsweek that the political usage of the term "open border" does not reflect reality, saying the Biden administration's policies are relatively restrictive compared to past presidential administrations.

4. Lies are what they have so they lie, lie some more and lie again.

Then AOC and her ilk condemn him for doing as he promised when it’s shown to be a lie. Then it dies down and they lie yet again. Biden is holding to the UFW policy. Open borders undercut their negotiating power.
