Roughly 15% of Democrats and 7% of Republicans support open borders. So it's a small minority that support open borders. No politician supports open borders to my knowledge.Democrats want open borders.

The New York Times whines whenever Republicans dare suggest that Democrats support socialist policies. The paper tried to rebut the charge in its latest “Fact Check” with political reporter Reid Epstein joining regular fact-checker Linda Qiu for “Attaching Democrats to Radical Socialists,” which assured readers that “On economic issues, Democrats in the United States are far to the right of the governing parties in most other Western democracies.”
It’s an odd defense, given the Times ardor for “Democratic Socialists” in America, and communism everywhere else.
But one interesting omission from the latest round of fact checking is a vital 2020 issue that the Times isn’t fact-checking Donald Trump on anymore: His accusations that Democrats favor “open borders.” Trump hasn’t stopped talking about Democrats wanting open borders in his stump speeches, but the fact checkers have stopped flagging it.
Perhaps that’s because even some of the paper’s liberal columnists are worried that too many Democratic candidates, by pushing for the abolition of ICE and decriminalization of illegal border crossings, are in favor of de facto “open borders.”
Qiu did so most vigorously in June 2018 with the bluntly headlined “No, Democrats Don’t Want ‘Open Borders.’” She has repeated that stand a dozen or so times afterward, apparently most recently in late December 2018.
The issue went dead as the Democratic candidates for president showed their radical stand on border crossing. Liberal columnist Frank Bruni fretted in the Sunday Review that “anything that smacks of open borders -- which is how President Barack Obama’s secretary for homeland security, Jeh Johnson, described Democratic presidential candidates’ positions in a recent op-ed essay in The Washington Post -- puts those candidates at odds with public opinion.”
Bruni made the same point in a column last week as well.
Also, columnist Thomas Friedman did a Q&A with readers after last week’s controversial column, and used the term to describe the stance of many of the Democrats on the debate stage:
What I worry about from the first Democratic debates was that by so many candidates offering so many free things to so many people -- some of them not even American citizens -- the gut message being conveyed by the party was that it’s for open borders and for taking care of people who just walked into our country illegally....
Here's political reporter Jonathan Martin arching his brow in concern:
[Three Democratic governors] were just as emphatic about immigration, warning 2020 candidates that their support for decriminalizing illegal migration would allow Republicans to cast Democrats as the party of open borders.
We eagerly await the paper’s follow-up fact check, “OK, So Maybe Democrats Do Want ‘Open Borders.’”
I still think y'all need to take a deep breathe and relax. We aren't seeing the rise of Hitler 2.0. More like the rise of ****y different kind of president that will just come and go.
That's nice for him to claim that. But his statement is verifiable false. Trump has been called racist long before winning against Clinton.
He was sued and settled a case in 1973 for housing discrimination against black people. He was accused of being racist for his silly birther stance. He said racist things and was accused of being racist his entire campaign.
So he settled a case in 1973 and that makes him guilty?
So he settled a case in 1973 and that makes him guilty? You dont think that with all the properties he has owned that its possible one false claim could have popped up from some money hungry disgruntled people for other reasons?
That's your big proof that he is a racist?
Do you think you could actually provide some real substance please? And no, pro immigration laws are not racist. Barrack Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton all held the same views on border security.
You literally have zero proof he is a racist. The funny thing is he actually does the exact opposite of what you clowns say he is. On numerous occasions he's gone out of his way to help minorities. Just recently he tried to help with the release from jail of a black rapper in Sweden. Why do you choose to ignore these things? Why do they not weigh on your mind when you cast so much judgment on a person you dont know and have never met?

Clearly you misread this discussion. Nothing you said was relevant.
The claim was that Trump only started getting called racist after beating Clinton.
There is plenty of proof that people were calling him racist a long time ago.
There is no burden of proof needed whether or not he has racist. It's just whether people have called him that.
On the separate subject of racism he has a long record of racist statements. I don't know if he is racist or not though. He might just be extremely ignorant or dumb. Chances are he is racist though due to his age, upbringing, and background combined with his racist statements. Frankly most people are racists to some extent, most are just not willing to acknowledge or admit it. It's almost impossible to grow up in our society and not make some sort of assumptions about people because of their race, even if the majority fit the mold.
It's great he has done some things to help people. He has also done things to hurt minorites.
Incorrect. It's impossible to have a completely secure border. I don't think everyone supports am open border.If you dont support secure borders then you support open borders. This isn't hard to figure out.

Ben Carson likes him even more now.

Actually there a lot of independent voices on Youtube and elsewhere who are black and support Trump.
Sure. You can even find independent black voices that support David Duke. There have always been black people who supported segregation and white supremacy.
As for the rest of your post, since you don't understand the language we use to discuss racism, your imitation comes off as hollow and sad, IOWs, typical for you.
