Nobody wants literal "open borders", it's hyperbole (possibly to reach the lowest common denominator) and you know what it means. Don't play dumb.
Really? So when hacks say that Democrats want open borders, they don't really mean it? I've never seen any of them admit that.
Hillary wanted to double the number of refugees the US accepts every year, Obama created the DREAM act to allow a lot of illegals to stay in the country. That's what people call "open borders", compared to "closed borders" like Trump that banned refugees and wanted to ban muslims.
Neither of those issues even relate to border security (in addition to the second claim being batshit crazy). Clinton was proposing a very small number of refugees actually, though I don't know how it compare to the current level. The U.S. doesn't let many in.
