    The US doesn’t have open borders and most borders in the world have no barriers at all. I’m not sure where you’ve got walls all along your border such that you think it’s normal.

        They’re saying other countries are all walled up, which is also complete nonsense.

          Lol there’s no forts if that’s what you have in mind. But there’s border controls and limited walls where people hit the border. If people start entering illegally they extend the walls as needed.

          Recent examples would be Colombia, Finland and Greece

      I’ve gone overland from Singapore to Paris and from Alaska to Argentina and a lot of other travel and I’ve only ever been able to just walk over the border in two places (Paraguay/brazil and iran/Pakistan)

        That you didn’t hike into the wilderness to find the unfenced border has nothing to do with whether those crossings existed. The US also has border barriers around regular road crossings and tourists, like yourself, just use those places.
