I appreciate the link and the fact that you've addressed this before. I think we can all agree that a) some of those individual policies might be exaggerations; b) some of those aren't even policies; and b) they do not equate to "open borders".

We'd do well not to paraphrase that "Dems are for open borders". I think it probably makes you sound like a Foxnews viewer.

Are you kind?
