This is calm, rational, and unfortunately devoid of logic. I'm trying to work on a piece to explain why. The two main points are:

1. Dishonesty. Saying "open" implies no border control at all, along with King Donald of Orange's comment about "opening up the country."

2. illogical definition. There is no such thing as a closed border, people were able to get past the Berlin wall, for heaven's sake.

Claiming that more people coming through than you want is "open" makes no sense. If border control can intercept a certain percentage of people trying to cross, all it takes for the number of successful crossings to increase is for the number of attempted crossings to increase.

So, for example, there were years when illegal immigration rose under the previous administration. Does that mean he had an open border policy on those years but not on others? Also, there's an easy way to stop people from coming across: ruin our economy to the point that they would rather not be here. Then we could dismantle the entire border control infrastructure and still reduce illegal crossings. Is that a reasonable way to approach it?

As somebody who did logic for a living, this definition (like the others I've heard from like-minded people) would get a red X on the paper and request to try again.
