Feels like just yesterday that walls were racist, xenophobic, and all that other jewish nonsense.

The popular discourse surrounding immigration and border security is just utterly retarded from both sides. Open border? What the fuck does that mean? Closed border? What the fuck does that mean.

North South Korea border is a "closed border" nobody can cross legally. You can try to cross illegally you'll get arrested.

Most border crossings are "open" in the sense there's a legal way to cross. Opposed to "open" borders like the Schengen area where people can cross without border controls at all.

I can't make heads or tails of what most people in the news are talking about when it comes to US immigration and border control. Sounds like half the people are just spouting talking points they've been given but have probably never actually been to a border themselves.

Which is not the common usage of the term "open borders" when talking about the Southern US border. "Open borders" in this sense refers to the unchecked flood of people coming in from literally all over the world.
