Dope1: Trump pursued a closed border, Biden open borders.

Trump pursued a wall, which he told the rubes that Mexico would fund.

Biden actually got Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to pay $1.5 billion over two years for U.S. border security efforts.

Plus... the FY23 Omnibus Appropriations Package includes:


--$7.3 billion for between-the-ports security operations and investments

--$16 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including $6.3 billion for CPB border security operations along the southern and northern border

--$60 million to hire 125 CBP Officers and mission support staff

--$230 million for CBP border security technologies, including $70 million for non-intrusive inspection systems to improve scanning of vehicles and cargo entering the U.S.

--$65 million to hire 300 additional Border Patrol Agents

--$8.4 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and support, including $339 million for border management activities to respond to increased encounters at the southern border

--$2.9 billion for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)

--$90 million to support local law enforcement that participate in joint efforts to secure the northern and southern border

--$800 million for non-profits and NGOs to provide emergency shelter and services to reduce overcrowding and improve CBP operations at the southern border


Hardly the pursuit of an open borders policy.
