What is your proof of this? Trump has much better polling on immigration than Biden ever had. https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/issues/immigration Trump’s approval ratings on immigration are barely negative - on average 46.8% approve of his actions on immigration. You are living in an ideological bubble and thinking that Democrats’ opposition to Trump’s immigration policies means the whole country opposes them. Trump’s immigration policies are very popular with Republican voters. |

P.S. Biden’s open borders created chaos in American cities. |

I hope that voters will realize that this gamification of deportation is not the answer. It is cruel, and it is also performative. Biden and Harris were focused on long-term solutions to the border crisis. But voters did not have the patience for this. The media didn’t have any interest in it, and the administration should have done a better job of informing the public. So now we are back to keeping score on which president deports the most people. But Trump took it too far. Conservatives had this vision of dark-skinned drug dealers being pulled off of school playgrounds all over America. Of little girls being rescued from dark-skinned rapists. But I think they are starting to realize that if the worst of the worst are being deported, then why are we seeing footage of people being dragged from their workplaces, immigration hearings, graduations? Trump is ALL ABOUT optics and ratings. If he was capturing the worst of the worst, he would show us. Conservatives also might be catching on that the deportation numbers he puts out there are completely arbitrary, and he has no way of backing them up. He pushed his cult a little too far, and some of them are catching on. |

| Young men are having an identity crisis. For centuries, it has been engrained in them to be the providers and protectors. Women no longer want or need this. Which is a good thing, but there are some growing pains with this progress. So they simply don’t know their place in society. Conservatism lets them keep that traditional role where they feel needed and comfortable. My family is very liberal, especially my daughters. We have gen z boys in our friend and family circle who are still trying to figure things out but are leaning to the right. I can tell that they have a hard time connecting with my daughters because they aren’t sure what will offend them. Even older males are struggling to navigate this. When we moved into our house, dh met the lesbian couple next door. He said to let him know if they need anything and was confused when he got a weird look for that. I asked him if he would have said that if a man lived there and explained that they can take care of themselves. He understood, but still struggles with these things from time to time. |

DP. Research it yourself. Lots of articles from before the 2024 election about what Biden tasked Harris with re: immigration. search re: root causes of immigration. She was tasked with focusing on the root causes of immigration from Central America's Northern Triangle. Problem is that over time the places people were migrating from changed. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/kamala-harris-chose-a-long-term-approach-when-tasked-to-tackle-rise-in-border-crossings https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-immigration-biden-administration-border/ |

Because they’ve been raised by their liberal mothers to be timid, non-confrontational and weak. They accept their lot in life and default to settling at every fork in life’s road. |

Let me know if you would like more. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/kamala-harris-chose-a-long-term-approach-when-tasked-to-tackle-rise-in-border-crossings https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Root-Causes-Strategy.pdf Quick summary of their strategy from chat gpt, so feel free to fact check and let me know if you find proof something is incorrect. 1. Root Causes Strategy: Long-Term Reduction of Migration One of the central long-term strategies of the Biden-Harris administration has been addressing the root causes of migration — particularly from Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador). • Vice President Harris was tasked in 2021 to lead efforts to address the root causes of migration rather than manage border security directly. Her role was to use diplomatic and economic tools to reduce why people leave their home countries in the first place.  • This plan, formalized as the Strategy to Address the Root Causes of Migration, focuses on economic opportunity, combating corruption and violence, strengthening governance and human rights, and supporting civil society in the region — aiming to create conditions that lessen migration pressures over years, not just days.  • The strategy involves coordinating with local governments, the private sector, and civil society to build sustainable development and stability — all part of a longer-term effort to deter migration by improving conditions at the source.  • Harris’ efforts reportedly helped spur billions in private sector investment that could create jobs in the Northern Triangle, potentially reducing migration over the long run.  ⸻ 2. Expanding Legal Pathways and Structured Entry The Biden administration has also focused on creating lawful alternatives to irregular crossings, which is both a border management tactic and a long-term stabilization tool: • Biden rolled out programs allowing tens of thousands of migrants (from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua) to enter the U.S. legally each month if they have sponsors and meet vetting criteria — reducing pressure on the border by providing regulated entry channels.  • The administration has encouraged migrants to stay where they are and apply legally for entry — signaling that unlawful border crossings can overwhelm the system and are not the preferred route.  ⸻ 3. Structural Border Enforcement and Modernization While policies aimed at the long term often focus on source-country conditions and legal pathways, Biden also pursued changes intended to modernize how the border operates: • The administration has pushed to expand asylum restrictions under certain conditions and developed enforcement tools that are tied to entry-rule compliance — aiming for a more orderly asylum system rather than ad hoc spikes in irregular crossings.  • Biden increased funding for enforcement and worked to improve coordination with Mexico and other partners to reduce migrant flows before they reach the U.S. border.  ⸻ 4. Bipartisan Solutions and Legislative Efforts A truly long-term solution requires Congress, and the Biden-Harris administration has publicly supported bipartisan border security legislation: • Harris and the White House backed a bipartisan border security agreement in the Senate that would have funded technology, personnel, and court resources to manage migration more effectively — though it failed to pass without sufficient Republican support.  • Administration officials have emphasized that real, enduring solutions — including modernized immigration law and orderly border processes — will require legislative action from Congress.  ⸻ Summary ✔ Long-Term Focus: The administration’s strategy emphasizes long-lasting conditions to reduce the drivers of migration — especially instability and lack of economic opportunity in Central America — rather than only short-term enforcement.  ✔ Structured Legal Pathways: Expanding accessible, lawful entry channels to reduce irregular crossings is part of managing migration sustainably.  ✔ Modernization & Enforcement: Changes in asylum eligibility and border security efforts aim to make the system more orderly and predictable.  ✔ Bipartisan Legislative Support: The administration claims that long-term fixes require new immigration laws passed by Congress.  |

you are naive. those citations have no details. they are more of the powerpoint bullets pushed by politicians. sales points from Harris supporters. Nothing concrete was accomplished, nothing. She just walked away if this is your idea of positive results, wow. i have not words. bet you believe Elon when he says we need to import skilled labor because our world class universities do not produce skilled labor. |

wow, no wonder progressives are unable to implement policy. maybe focus on results, and not adverbs/adjectives. 8,000,000 illegal aliens allowed to flood the border. they created an app to import MORE illegal aliens easier. that was the results of Harris. |

Acceptance and humility are certainly not “weak” characteristics. Where did you even get that idea? Why would anyone want to celebrate a bunch of confrontational and lonely men who like to complain? WTF? |

While waiting for this very important and long overdue "Bipartisan Legislative Support", all Biden had to do was leave existing EOs in place to stem the flow of new migrants crossing the southern border to a manageable level and we wouldn't be dealing with this awful Trump second term. Biden made his bed as the second worst POTUS ever next to Trump and he shall lie there for eternity. |

Yep. It’s this. Smart people (aka those educated at elite institutions) vote for Democrats. We hold advanced degrees, live in urban coastal areas, and are irreligious. Republican voters are poor, déclassé, evangelicals who are simply dumb for “voting against their interests”. |
