This is factually incorrect fear-mongering. We do not have an open border and the election wasn't stolen. Biden has done a poor job of pushing back against the rhetoric but the border is as strictly enforced as it's ever been.
"Rebecca Hamlin, who studies immigration politics as a professor with the University of Massachusetts Amherst and wrote a book on the labeling of migrants, told Newsweek that the political usage of the term "open border" does not reflect reality, saying the Biden administration's policies are relatively restrictive compared to past presidential administrations.
"I've been studying immigration politics for now 20 years, and I haven't seen such a mismatch between the accusations of one party and the policies of the other which are actually not close to open and probably stricter than what we've seen in a long time," Hamlin said.
The Biden administration has received consistent backlash from immigrant rights groups for leaving the Title 42 public health order in place that restricts the channels through which migrants can seek asylum. Furthermore, 2021 saw the U.S. admit the lowest number of refugees it has seen since 1980, with just over 11,400 being allowed into the country.
Libertarian think tank Cato Institute has taken note of this, publishing a September article titled Biden's Border Policy Is Not 'Open Borders,' where it noted that "Biden's policies and goals are largely the same as those of President Donald Trump."

Biden Doesn't Have an 'Open Border' Policy, so Why Does GOP Say Otherwise?
While Republicans such as Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz have said Biden has an "open border," immigrations experts have said that is not correct.www.newsweek.com
Yep. There is so much misinformation and political theater coming from the right.
To be fair though, there have been a few things Biden changed from Trump's time that have encouraged more crossings:
- he would not let title 42 instantly deport unaccompanied minors. Think about that. Trumpublicans are pro sending unaccompanied children off to be trafficked, raped, etc.
- he stopped family separations and reunited hundreds of kids with their families that were separated under Trump. What a scumbag!
The dems have a messaging problem, but honestly, they always have. Dem voters tend to look for more substance in their politicians. Trump just got up and kept repeating "MAGA, WALL, JOBS"! That was all Replublicans needed to hear. It was love at first sight.
