'Open border' is just some stupid crap republicans say to fool rubes. The borders are in no way and have never been 'open'.

Anyway, the Senate spent months preparing bipartisan border reform legislation, the most significant in decades. And what happened? Fucking Trump told them to kill it because he didn't want a 'win' for Biden and he wants to inflame it was an election issue. Meanwhile Republicans still whine there's "a crisis" and "open borders" and all their other inane bullshit, and are attacking Harris over it. Surprise.

And of course, Republicans lied their sad asses off about all of this:
