If the border is wide open, how are there so many apprehensions?

sigh. Are those apprehensions the total number of people?

I think your concerns over what other people say about the border merely stems from your use of a vague term like "wide open" to describe the problems. An "open" border typically involves unrestricted freedom of movement across the boundary. We have open borders between the states, the EU zone has open borders between the various countries for EU residents, etc. We don't have that, even along the southern border.

You're making a semantic argument here, and it doesn't fly.

A new estimate this week put the growing population of “gotaways” at a sky-high 13 million, more than the population of every state except four: California, Texas, New York, and Florida.

13 million people is the equivalent of adding 1.5 New York Cities to the United States. I'd call that out of control and a result of a wide open border. YMMV.
