We have at least 10 million illegals. So how would you say it's closed? There's a gap somewhere. What the hell are you talking about? It's called "an expression", ever heard of that? Anyone who wants to come across, can. A few years ago, a guy running for Congress went to Mexico, and then illegally crossed back into the US, riding an elephant, and he hired a mariachi band to play alongside him, and he crossed without getting caught. Call it whatever you want, we all know what it is.
When the biggest swing you can take, is to say "the border isn't 'open', it's just 'porous' enough for a guy riding an elephant to make it across", you are really reaching.
