You heard him say he wants open borders and to eliminate ICE?
He has said he wants to "tear down the wall" separating El Paso from Juarez. He also said that he is "open to the idea of getting rid of ICE"
You heard him say these things?
Because it sounds like you are highly influence by how Cruz characterized what Beto has said.
For example, on ICE:
"Asked about abolishing ICE Friday at a town hall in San Antonio, O'Rourke discussed the need to eliminate fear in immigrant communities under Trump and to find a better way to enforce immigration laws. ‘And if that involves doing away with this agency, giving that responsibility to somebody else, changing how this agency performs, I’m open to doing that,’ O’Rourke said.
"Yet he went on to flatly answer no when directly asked if he would abolish ICE, explaining that he does not currently know enough about how immigration law would be enforced without the agency.
"‘I understand the urgency of this,’ O’Rourke said in conclusion. ‘I just want to make sure that we’re constructive in how we talk about meeting this challenge and that I understand what abolishing ICE would mean in terms of enforcing our laws going forward.’"
Most recently, O'Rourke was asked about abolishing ICE in an interview with ABC Radio's "Powerhouse Politics Podcast." O'Rourke replied: "I just don't understand it. It's not clear to me what that would accomplish."
O'Rourke elaborated that abolishing the agency wouldn't solve the separation of children from parents or the deaths of migrants near the border. "Abolishing ICE does nothing to solve any of those issues," O'Rourke said, in contrast to making changes in federal policy.
Just as with every other liberal politician, what comes out of O’Rourke’s mouth depends entirely on who he is trying to bullshit at the time.
You are describing Trump to a T.
The democrats want to change the rules so they have a better chance of winning. They want socialism, sanctuary states, and open borders. Hasn't California already tried that?
The Dems new Party motto: "We are Borg!"
You realize that when Republicans call things that aren’t socialism “Socialism”, it basically dilutes the significance of the label. Some folks just start to think, “well, I guess Socialism isn’t something to fear”.
I've been to El Paso. It's separated from Juarez by a river.
He said he was gonna fill it up with dirt that tastes good.

AOC is such an ignorant twit.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Liz Cheney disagree on Twitter over knowledge of 22nd Amendment, Constitution
House Reps. Liz Cheney and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clashed on Twitter over each other's understanding of the Constitution.
Cheney, R-Wyo., took issue with a comment Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made during a recent MSNBC town hall event in which the freshman congresswoman talked about Democrats being in control of Congress in the 1930s and 1940s.
“When our party was boldest, the time of the New Deal, the Great Society, the Civil Rights Act and so on, we had, and carried, supermajorities in the House, in the Senate. We carried the presidency,” she told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
“They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure (President Franklin D.) Roosevelt did not get reelected,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
In response to Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks, Cheney tweeted: “We knew the Democrats let dead people vote. According to AOC, they can run for president too.”
The New Yorker then fired off her own response.
“Hey Rep. Cheney, I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment,” she wrote.
According to the National Constitution Center, discussion of the 22nd Amendment and a term limit began in 1944 after presidential candidate Thomas Dewey warned a “16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to Democracy.”
Roosevelt died while in office in 1945 and the 22nd Amendment was approved by Congress in 1947. The Amendment reads, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some of other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
Cheney continued to throw barbs at Ocasio-Cortez and tweeted a video from “Schoolhouse Rock” that talks about the basics of the Constitution.
“Hey AOC, I know you’re busy so I thought this short would be helpful to introduce you to the basics of the Constitution. If you’re still trying to figure out how a bill becomes a law, they have a great video on that, too,” she wrote.
As of Tuesday morning, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t respond to Cheney’s latest tweet.

How deep and wide is the river at El Paso? Just wondering if it is a map barrier/border or an actual barrier physically.
