How do you have open borders and yet restrict criminals or suspected terrorists from entering? Either you have no restrictions or you have some restrictions. If you have some restrictions then you will have illegals that need to be deported which means you will need some kind of enforcement to do the deporting. There is no feasible way to run a modern country with truly open borders.
You require documentation so you can check if they have a criminal past. If there’s no documentation then treat them like someone on parole and give them an ankle monitor. It’s not rocket science, we just our politicians’ job security depends on not fixing problems.
Seriously. This person is using the right wing strawman version of open borders. We had open borders in the 19th century, but there was still a customs office. You still had to show up, register, and declare yourself. And they filtered out what criminals they could back then. Open borders simply means that anyone is able to come if they’re a law-abiding person.

You leave the borders open. If a terrorist comes across the border, you send the police to arrest them.
We should have an immigration quota of over 1 million people per year and have unlimited work visas.
So basically anyone who wants to come here can come as long as they are law abiding and not diseased or whatever?
