No there isn't.

Just more Trumpling blather.
The border is less open now than it's EVER been.

The GOP "open border" BS is just designed to get Trumplings all stirred up.

Looks like it's working.

Wow, just WOW — what planet do you live on?
WEVE HAD UNPRECENDENTED RECORD SETTING ILLEGAL CROSSINGS — 125,000 a month (those are just the ones we know about)
Even Dems had to backtrack their fake news and admit there’s a border crisis.

“California Sen. Kamala Harris has compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Ku Klux Klan, called on Senate Democrats to resist funding any measure or resource on the border that functions to apprehend and detain illegal border crossers, and made protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients among her top issues. I think we know where she stands on “border security.”

“Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J) has taken things further and vowed — if elected — to essentially eliminate any kind of border detention through an executive order. “

There’s many more outspoken open border democrat leaders.

How about you? Will you also continue to lie that you are not for open borders?

It is inane to argue someone supports something they do not admit supporting.

Sounds like you're referring to asylum seekers.

Just so you'll know - they're NOT illegal crossers.

You have no concept of what an open border is.

But you're eager to repeat what hyperpartisan talking heads TELL YOU it is.

Repeating their talking points is so much easier than thinking it through.

Why do you think that is? Could it have something to do with Big Ag corporations who want access to cheap labor? Hmm, I wonder.
Sure there are some sell-out Republicans in congress (as well as some Democrats) for big business but you are wrong about focusing on the AG industry. Only 2-4% of illegals are working in that industry and there are unlimited visas for legal, foreign workers for those jobs. Most illegals are working construction, landscaping, restaurant and hospitality jobs.

How do you know only 2-4% illegals are working in that industry?

The stats used as support of arguments regarding immigration are for the most part -- best guesses -- and those guesses change based on what side of the aisle you are on.

Farm work is seasonal and yes many of those illegals then move to other jobs.

But we will never know the full impact of illegals on the farming community until Trump encourages ICE to raid all those big AG farmers....and they won't.

They will hit the minority communities in liberal cities.

It really does seem to be all about the show.

Of course they do. There is only one way to achieve New World Order and that’s to tear down all borders. Once they achieve this, one single global currency is next. Biggest problem is the Elite have hijacked the Democratic Party and the leftists have no idea how dangerous their endgame really is.
