Keep it open but enforce entry standards fairly. Closing everything just creates chaos and humanitarian issues.

Lol everyone acting like there's a magic button. Reality: we need funding, personnel, and actual policy coordination across agencies.

Close it temporarily, get organized, then reopen with better processes.

This is way more complicated than a simple yes/no. Both approaches have failed in the past because we never commit to the hard work.

Order matters. You can't help anyone if the system is completely broken.

Closing borders is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. We need actual solutions, not just walls.
