No we aren't.

Right now, the government is artificially suppressing wages by threatening to deport immigrants. Employers take advantage of government enforcement by promising to hide the worker in exchange for poor wages and living conditions.

Giving immigrant workers visas, thus rights is a solution to this. No more artificially suppressed wages because the workers don't fear the government

Because they won't allow for enough housing to be built.

They only started charging people with a crime for crossing the border in 2005 under the Bush administration. I don't think you would say that we had open borders before then, and a return to that previous policy is what people mean by decriminalization.

Just quickly looking at this link, I don't see anywhere it says open borders.It does however say "Decriminalize illegal border crossings" which is not the same as open borders.
