Analysis Summary
DeSantis claims the Democratic Party's default position is open borders, but the evidence is more complicated. Democrats do favor easier legal immigration pathways, but the Biden-Harris administration actually carried out record numbers of deportations, issued stricter asylum rules in 2024, and processed fewer border crossings after implementing tougher enforcement in June 2024 — the lowest number since September 2020. The phrase 'open borders' is a common Republican framing that doesn't match the actual policy record. Public polling shows voters believe Democrats want open borders (56% in a Harvard/Harris poll), but that perception reflects successful Republican messaging rather than stated Democratic policy.
Claims Analysis (2)
“The default position for the Democrat Party is open borders.”
Democrats favor more liberal immigration policies and legal pathways but not literal open borders. Biden issued stricter asylum restrictions in 2024 and conducted record deportations.
“They can and will do it again if they regain power.”
Predictive claim about future Democratic policy is speculative and treated as political opinion rather than verifiable fact.
