Importantly, in their final face-off, the Republican contended: “Very unfair that somebody runs across the border, becomes a citizen. Under her plan you have open borders. You would have a disaster on trade and you will have a disaster with your open borders.” Hillary contested Trump’s claim that she supported open borders. “We will not have open borders,” she declared in response to Trump. “That is a rank mischaracterization. We will have secure borders. But we will also have reform.”

Following that exchange, Wallace introduced the controversial WikiLeak’d speech content without a Russian frame: “Secretary Clinton, I want to clear up your position on this issue because in a speech you gave to a Brazilian bank for which you were paid $225,000, we’ve learned from WikiLeaks, that you said this. And I want to quote, ‘My dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders.’ ” As Wallace was completing the question, Trump interjected: “Thank you.” His interruption led Wallace to reiterate, “That’s the question. Please, quiet, everybody. Is that your dream? Open borders?”

The Democrat responded by arguing that Wallace had taken the statement out of context. The cited passage was talking about energy, she argued: “If you went on to read the rest of the sentence, I was talking about energy. We trade more energy with our neighbors than we trade with the rest of the world combined. And I do want us to have an electric grid, an energy system that crosses borders.” She then proceeded to attack WikiLeaks, note the intelligence agencies’ confirmation of Russian interference, and call on Trump to acknowledge Russian interference and reject Putin’s help in the election.

Trump responded instead:

trump: That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders. Okay? How did we get on to Putin?

wallace: Hold on, folks. Because this is going to end up getting out of control. Let’s try to keep it quiet. For the candidates and for the American people.

trump: Just to finish on the borders, she wants open borders. People are going to pour into our country. People are going to come in from Syria. She wants 550% more people than Barack Obama. And he has thousands and thousands of people. They have no idea where they come from. And you see, we are going to stop radical Islamic terrorism in this country. She won’t even mention the words and neither will President Obama. So I just want to tell you. She wants open borders.
