Biden considering executive action to close southern border, sources say
The White House is considering executive action that would allow President Joe Biden to effectively shut down the border to migrants crossing unlawfully, according to three sources familiar with the matter—a maneuver reminiscent of controversial action from the Donald Trump ...
And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.
I won't rehash my opinions, they already been better said here, but I want to add I hate the phrase "close the border". What the fuck does that mean, was it open, did the last one in forget to close the door?
From the article, he is considering taking action "to restrict migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border if they crossed illegally" which has a lot more nuance and is important to the discussion. So this will specifically affect people who have a legitimate claim to asylum, the border was never "open" to any migrants without it (or a visa).
Law states that legality of crossing has no effect on validity of asylum cases. I guess we're ok with doing whatever we want to cater to a republican base that won't vote for a dem.
I've keep being put into a position where I have to further my consideration in voting for Biden.
He's the strongest the Democrats can muster, we can't have any one else (but please don't criticize him, he's incredibly weak, a strong breeze will knock him over). Hes the best option we've got to stop a Palestinian genocice (oh except earlier today he vetoed a vote via the UN that could have stopped the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people). But we have to vote Biden because Trump would probably be worse (even though, you know, Biden is the one right now supporting the genocide. not hypothetical).
If you think this delusional policy is defensible, right here right now, you are part of the problem.
NO right wing voter is going to support Biden. PERIOD. NONE. You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left. Literally every Democratic victory in 60 fucking years have happened that way. But yeah, keep pursuing these genocidal right of Rumsfield positions, Democrats. I"m sure you'll find that center once you have cripwalked past Cheny's undead beating heart of evil.
THe entire last decade of political progress made by progressives has been lost because of this idiot.
I’ve keep being put into a position where I have to further my consideration in voting for Biden.
No you don't. Because you have 2 options: Biden or Trump. If you are considering Trump as a legitimate pick, then just say you're a fascist and save everyone time.
You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left.
Despite what the internet says, most of America is not that progressive. Else we'd have more progressive candidates down ballot. People love to bitch and whine about how there's no good options. Well that's because America is pretty conservative on a lot of issues. It's not like there's this giant leap from left-leaning to far-right fascists. It's a huge spectrum. People not wanting to recognize this is why we get posts like this.
If America was truly as progressive as some people thought, a third party could sweep the Democrats with a popular progressive candidate. Unfortunately that's just not the case. But it is changing. Albeit slowly.
So get out there and campaign or run for office. Because this kind of grandstanding only creates voter apathy.

In a word, no. The GOP and the DNC actively collude to ensure that no one else can compete.
No you don’t. Because you have 2 options: Biden or Trump. If you are considering Trump as a legitimate pick, then just say you’re a fascist
So our choices are 1) fascists who support a fascist or 2) ethnic cleansing apologists who are 100% okay with voting for the man supplying weapons and aid to those committing the cleansing.

Yeah fucking right. Money is the number one determining factor in candidate success, and after that it is the organizational power of the DNC. How deluded do you have to be to think that ANY third party is going to be able to muster populist support given the current economic & political paradigm. I'm sorry, but that is just so fucking naive I can't believe you even tried to float that.

Sure, he's not going to get any right-wing voters, but is he going to lose left-wing voters? There's still a center, and the majority of people are in there. That majority cares about things like this.

What progress is that?
You lefties make me want to vote for trump. I've been a Democrat my entire life but I hate being associated with you idiots. Biden is a strong president and has done far more good than any president in the past 50 years but you're too far up hasan pikers ass to see it.
If I see one more "lefty" talking shit about Biden, I'm voting for trump and getting the other fence centers to do so. And I hope he leaves NATO and abandons Palestine to be left a crater so you idiots can finally have a reason to cry (wouldn't matter since you're always crying).
Im sure the democrats will stand up against this like they did when Trump did it. Lol what a joke.
This is clearly an attempt to get elected instead of the orange catastrophe.
Absolutely disgusting. I don't know how I can vote for this despicable person again. Appalling. Democrats are supposedly the good party?
Give me one reason to vote for this fascist that isn't "he's not Trump."
P.S. Willem van Spronsen was a hero, and I wish we all could follow his example.
Fuck your imaginary border.
Will you vote for the truly fascist trump, or just throw your vote away?
That'll bring San Diego to a halt. Nobody can afford to live in San Diego.
Hey traffic will be awesome! Don't know what we're going to do with all the trucks that stop though.
Member when dubya did that?

It's just a virtue signal that Dems appropriated from Repubs as the Overton Window has shifted to the right. In actually neither of them will do anything to affect real change because too many companies make a shitload of money exploiting the fuck out of immigrants. Then these assholes get to scapegoat these same immigrants as some kind of root cause for how the middle class is
doing worsegetting fucked over while Wall Street keeps breaking records. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it would be over $20.
