Honest question: what (specifically) is an “open border”?

I would think if a border was “open” there would be no Border Patrol and no border checkpoints?

Thats what the words mean. But like so many things these days, just because thats what the words say, that isnt what it means.😷

@Thinkerbell Okay, well, words have meaning, but I guess we're just ignoring that.

@Thinkerbell So its not an open border.. Its a "not so closed" border. You see what I mean.. An open border is a free flow in both directions..And frankly thats doable. If you fix a lot of the other problems in America first..😷
@Thinkerbell That kinda sums it up. We had an "open border" under every president.

Conservatives use it as a propaganda term for racists, it means nothing.

@trollslayer That's another thing. We're supposed to believe both that the border is open, and that they're catching the people who illegally cross the border.

@BohemianBabe like we are supposed to believe Biden is a clueless geriatric at the same time he is the Big Guy, a criminal mastermind.
