John Avlon Denies Border Crisis: “We Don’t Have Open Borders”

During a recent campaign event, Manhattan-elitist John Avlon boldly claimed “we don’t have open borders,” and “we never have.”

But back in reality, the effects of the Biden-Harris administration’s open borders and Democrats’ pro-illegal immigration policies are decimating New York.

More than 200,000 illegal immigrants made their way to New York in just the past two years, costing taxpayers over $1 billion. On top of it, the crisis has brought terrorists and a wave of violent crime to the state.

“Manhattan-elitist John Avlon is showing Long Islanders just how out of touch he really is,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole. “The illegal immigration crisis has cost New Yorkers a fortune and brought violence to their streets, but John Avon won’t even acknowledge that the border crisis is real. If he can’t accept the reality of a problem now, voters can’t expect him to solve it later.”
