Rudy Giuliani just said that Hillary Clinton “is for open borders.” Giuliani is repeating a claim made by his buddy Donald Trump just weeks ago that was rated “false” by Politifact.
LIE: Rudy Giuliani: “Hillary Clinton is for open borders.”
THE TRUTH: Politifact: “Trump said Clinton’s immigration platform would ‘create totally open borders.’ This is a huge distortion of Clinton’s proposals.” “Trump said Clinton’s immigration platform would ‘create totally open borders.’ This is a huge distortion of Clinton’s proposals. Clinton has praised work already done to secure the border, and she said she supported a 2013 bill that would have invested billions more in border security while creating a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants. Her plan calls for protecting the border and targeting deportation to criminals and security threats. Her plan would make it easier for many undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation, but that’s not the same as ending all enforcement. We rate this claim False.” [Politifact, 6/23/16]
