Is the Southern Border Open or Closed? Here's What Released Migrants Have to Say.

Illegal immigrants who have been processed and released by Border Patrol onto the streets of one of the United States' largest border towns say they believe the southern border is open, contrary to what Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has insisted when pressed about the crisis.

"For us Nicaraguans in the United States, thankfully it is open," Alexandra Malencotold Townhall. "It is open. It is an opportunity for many migrants and people. We want a better quality of life."

"It was open when I crossed on Sunday. I don't know if it is right now, but they were receiving migrants on Sunday. I do not know today. It could be open," said Vicente Rodriguez.

Rodriguez added he is trying to get to Miami but he had no money and no way to communicate with "those who were going to receive me. I am here with God's help."

Ecuadorian Marcela Tierra said the border is open for some nationalities but is closed for others, such as Venezuelans.

"They gave us the paperwork to be in the United States. If not, we would've been extradited to our country."

Title 42 started being applied to Venezuelans in the fall after a significant surge of them began impacting areas like El Paso. That is about to change and Venezuelans will be able to illegally cross the Rio Grande when the public health order is lifted next week. Critics of Title 42 say it violates people's right to claim asylum and it does not secure the border since there is no legal punishment with an expulsion, resulting in some people attempting to cross multiple times.

Looks like the government is going full speed ahead to replace us with compliant people who will be their slaves. Can’t think of any other reason they’re allowing this.

Its open, of course.

And I don’t care what illegals have to say. They have broken the law and are here ILLEGALLY.

Alexandra wants a better quality of life and she has no qualms about stealing to get it.

8 billion people on Planet Earth want the same thing. Do they all get to invade the US?

Looking back, I would have liked a higher standard of living-—but I never INVADED anyone else’s property to get such.

Was never on Welfare of any kind

Paid for all my own education costs—no ‘loans’

Paid for my own vehicles

Attendance at my jobs was constant

WE NEED MORE AMMO

It’s wide open… and the majority of Americans couldn’t care less.

I'd love to know how many do care. A lot of people chanted, "Build that wall!" at Trump's rallies. Even those "fruits and nuts" in California voted for Proposition 187 back in the day. If they had any say...if they had any power...I believe the vast majority of Americans would vote against this.

Time for the Abbott and Ducey to TOTALLY shut down the ports of entry...nothing in, nothing out. All of that Mexican produce would rot in the trucks, all of those Mexican-built cars would be stuck in the railcars, no Mexican-made Corn Flakes. The economy of Mexico (who is the culprit to all of this) would collapse. It would be the equivalent of grabbing them by the testicles and continually squeezing.

The governors of California and New Mexico would have to be on board and join in for this to work.
