They don't want an open border, at least not the vast majority, or even a majority. That is a false narrative crafted by the right-wing in order to paint the left in a more damaging light. It relies on the false dichotomy that you either want the type of border security the right is proposing or you want open borders, when the reality is that there are many ways to secure our borders without relying on the tactics favored by the current administration.
