We've long accepted refugees. They get processed, which takes time. I have less objection to that since they're refugees. Note that they can't get benefits if they disappear, as that would be trackable. So they are awaiting their day in court to plead their case. That's a reasonable system.

I know you're just throwing out numbers, but you can actually look this stuff up. The present backlog is 1525 days. Roughly 4 years, not 10 years. And the policy is to treat them as refugees if they meet certain criteria, not "99%". Cuban get an automatic pass as refugees (last I knew). Some nations, that would be a hard sell (e.g. Europe, Mexico, Canada, etc). The latest batch of refugees is actually from Ukraine. Are you going to say they just want to get to the US? That they aren't fleeing war? Last I knew, 271000 of them have been admitted.

That's not an open border, even if the numbers would make some people say it is.
