Republican Lies ABout "Open Borders" Fueled the Border Immigration Crisis

Because of course!

"Disinformation about “open border” policies is helping spur a massive wave of Central American migrants to take the perilous journey north to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a poll by America’s Voice, a national advocacy group pushing for immigration reform.

The poll, obtained by The Dallas Morning News, indicates many Central American residents are encouraged to travel up to the U.S.-Mexico border based on false narratives.

About 8 in 10 Central Americans surveyed said they have heard, read or seen what is happening at the border, according to the poll, and about two-thirds said they have heard or read about U.S. asylum policies."

it's freaking Republicans who are pushing this disinformation!

To get votes.

Putin has been doing this across Europe too.
So he can install his puppets into various governments.
