Everything he said in the article makes sense to me. He supports Israel, and he thinks lawmakers on both sides should seriously address the need for new immigration laws, which means dealing with the people crowded at the border trying to get into our country.
He's not saying "shut down the border" or "put kids in cages" He's saying that the US needs to find a better way to deal with all the people who are so desperate to come to the US. Quite simply, the laws need to reflect reality: We need workers, and immigrants fleeing from violence and poverty in their broken countries need jobs. Match them up, and everyone wins. But the GOP doesn't want to do that because then there'd be no "crisis at the border" and their Convicted Felon Candidate would have nothing to run on.
I agree with Fetterman that the US must support Israel. The anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian protests are a bit over the top, but I admire the passion of the movement. And of course Israel must end this war. The US has to insist on that. Enough is enough.
Fetterman is from a red state. He can't call himself a progressive. He's a Democrat, through and through. Not a conservative by any means, and certainly not a brain-damaged nut case member of the GOP.
