Trump didn’t abuse parole, and he made every effort available to restrict immigration and close the border via executive orders. Biden undid those executive orders and broadcast his deportation moratorium to the world. Perception trip to the border will be worth it=more migrants try Perception it will be a waste of time=less migrants. Biden broadcast the former and so numbers exploded. And he hasn’t actually tried to issue any policies or EOs to stem the tide. |
I think that was PP’s point. Cato is no fan of Biden. |
BS he fought to keep Title 42 in place and the courts rescinded it. |
Nor of MAGA. Libertarian is shorthand for “never trump republicans”. |
Lol, the executive order that Democrats spent the entirety of the time Trump was in office being pissed off about?.. if Biden had been in office when covid started (or any Democrat) title 42 would have never even been implemented. And no, actually the courts blocked Biden from ending it sooner This id what’s frustrating about people on the left suddenly trying to claim and argue about how Democrats aren’t actually EXTREMELY soft on immigration. They only stsrted caring about it recently and so, unlike the rest of us who have been constantly advocating for more restrictive policies and thus know which particular politicians are actually hawkish on the border—they know nothing. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/05/20/title-42-border-judge-ruling-migrants/ |
This is a not typical immigration. Trump went on a stupid bender, illegally separating families, banning Muslims, etc. Biden ran as not being Trump. Unfortunately for him, we are in the middle of a global migration crisis, and those words are coming back to bite him. Congress still needs to fix this. I’m tired of new immigration policy every time a new president is elected. This is Congress’ job. They need to be pushed to do it. |
Trump and the GOP would not like to deal with it, thank you. |
People aren't having kids because they can't afford houses.
Houses are expensive because there are too many people. There are too many people because of mass immigration. Economists say we need mass immigration because people aren't having kids. |
Or, we could build more housing so there is more of a supply. Unless you want to revert to what China tried to do with limiting people to one child. |
the global migration crisis is tied to two things 1) climate change and inhospitalble conditions in certain parts of the world 2) political upheaval/war in certain parts of the world mostly tied to Russia aggression and manipulation: central America, middle east and Ukraine So, if you want to address the migration crisis, you have to take steps to deal with climate change and you have to take steps to deal with Russia. The GOP has nothing on this issue as they have no solutions for 1 (and in fact deny it) and embrace 2. |
This. We have a president trying to follow the law and the right is SCREAMING "but Trump was able to do it" - ya, illegally. THIS is why we need the border bill to be passed. Can people posting on this issue from the right please begin to understand this? |
Lies? Biden told us over and over “the border is secure.” Let’s begin with that lie. |
Because the GOP’s current existence hinges on Russia. You know that, I know, I’m highlighting it for the GOP readers. |
That's because Russia is a totalitarian state that can extract wealth from its people and deliver it to foreigners over whom they want influence. Another reason Trump likes authoritarians - they can more easily rob their people and give the money to him. |
+1. Even Trump begged for Congress to pass a border bill while he was president. |
