Our borders are “open” only in the fever chants of the RWNJ. But when migrants hear all that chatter about “open borders”, they’re desperate enough to want to believe it. When your whole existence has been upended by a combination of violent gangs, dysfunctional government, lack of income and constant threats to your freedom, it doesn’t take a lot to get people to look for a way out.
There’s a big difference between being gullible and being desperate. The followers of the GQP are the former; migrants are the latter. That’s why migrants can be coaxed onto buses that will drop them off in the street in sub-freezing weather — even if the promises they’re being told are false, they can’t afford to pass up the chance that they might be legit.
