    They’re saying other countries are all walled up, which is also complete nonsense.

      Lol there’s no forts if that’s what you have in mind. But there’s border controls and limited walls where people hit the border. If people start entering illegally they extend the walls as needed.

      Recent examples would be Colombia, Finland and Greece

        Here’s an image with marks for the border barriers throughout the world from the Economist around Trump’s election. You’ll notice how most borders don’t have them. No one is saying no barriers exist, but they are not the norm. The US had some before Trump and the presence or absence of border fences has nothing to do with whether a border is “open”.
