I'm going to pin this:
The Biden administration does not have an open-border policy. Immigration studies experts say the claim that the U.S. has “open borders” under Biden is a myth that is not only inaccurate but unrealistic.
“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,” David J. Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, said in 2021.
“U.S. immigration policy is effectively closed borders, and Biden’s immigration policies and goals are largely the same as those of President Donald Trump,” Bier added.
Rebecca Hamlin, Ph.D., director of the Legal Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, agrees.
“I’ve been studying immigration politics for now 20 years, and I haven’t seen such a mismatch between the accusations of one party and the policies of the other, which are actually not close to open and probably stricter than what we’ve seen in a long time," Hamlin told Newsweek in 2022.

Bier says the Biden administration has also “imposed restrictions on applying for asylum far beyond those required by law.” Asylum allows people to remain in the U.S. instead of being deported to a country where they fear persecution or harm, the UN Refugee Agency says on its website.
Trump and Biden both invoked Title 42, a pandemic-era rule that Border Patrol used to “immediately expel any individual encountered attempting to enter the United States in violation of travel restrictions.” Title 42 expulsions began on March 21, 2020, and ended on May 11, 2023, when the Biden administration ended twin national emergencies for addressing COVID-19.
In April 2023, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State both said that “the lifting of the Title 42 order does not mean the border is open.” Instead, the agencies said that the end of Title 42 meant that the government would transition back to immigration procedures outlined in Title 8.
Under Title 8, people who unlawfully cross the border are subject to criminal consequences, including possible deportation, prosecution and a five-year bar on reentry. These penalties were not enforced under Title 42.

@SatanBurger are you insane. They could never manage to read all of that. It’s far too many words for them to manage.

@Captainjackass You make a good point. I can't expect reading to be maga's strong point when they believe in such black and white things

@SatanBurger to be fair most of them can’t read to begin with.

@Captainjackass It seems like they favor overly simplistic answers to things I noticed. Like they say Biden has open door policies but when I read about it, I can't find any policy that just said come on in. Yet they seem to not understand anything

@SatanBurger they just blindly believe whatever lie fox news says because it makes them feel better about being racist and never talking to women.

@Captainjackass One of them below told me that cnn wasn't a good source but then they parrot things that only fox news said.
