ABC News host claims that talking about the reality of an open border is the problem, rather than the actual open border.

In lockstep with the White House, elements of the media are claiming that the worsening crisis at the Southern border is the fault of Republicans and conservatives spreading ‘misinformation’ that the border is wide open.
In an interview with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, ABC’s Martha Raddatz stated “I don’t think I’ve ever heard President Biden say, we have an open border, come on over. But people I have heard say it is you, our former president Trump, Ron DeSantis, that message reverberates in Mexico and beyond.”
Abbott was arguing that cartel smugglers and undocumented migrants know Joe Biden “supported open borders” and is failing to enforce immigration laws.
“You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders,” Raddatz told Abbott, adding “So they [the cartels] do get the message that it’s an open border and smugglers use all those kinds of statements.”
