Journalists asking why so many migrants should focus on RW media predicting open borders under Biden

starting months before the election, and continuing nonstop after the election.

Biden wasn't talking about open borders.

But every RW news outlet and talk show I've paid any attention to in the last year has been telling their audience that Biden's election would mean open borders. Those media, and certainly clips from them, reach far beyond our borders.

Democrats of course knew those RW sources were lying in an attempt to hurt Biden.

But I'm sure a lot of those predictions got through to a Latin American audience wanting to believe it -- or perhaps wanting to exploit those who believed it.

The same RWers screaming now that Biden has created a crisis are largely to blame for the crisis. You could probably find clips from all of them predicting months ago that the US would have open borders under Biden.
