Average Biden W, sadly
What win is this?
The Dems went as hard against immigration as Trump was in his first term, and what did they get in return? Cause it sure wasn’t the White House, Senate, or House of Representatives.
Explaining a joke to the joker. Must be a day ending in Y on Lemmy, eh?
Biden kept good relations with the courts and local police departments, had judges working on asylum claims, and deported people who were found to have invalid claims.
Once Trump destroyed the asylum and revoked their status, the people already in the country weren’t just going to go turn themselves into ICE, and local judges basically told ICE to fuck off, so now they have to go hunt people down, and news spread fast that they almost certainly do not have valid warrants, so just ignore the fuckers and they’ll leave. We’re probably significantly undercounting border crossings now as they have no incentive to register and ICE is busy elsewhere.
Viola: They just made it damn near impossible to keep up the numbers Biden had. Biden’s plan was to increases asylum judges so they could process the claims directly at the border. Trump thought Americans would just turn all the brown people in… Somehow.
I assume he’s waiting to get Gitmo up and running.
High quality sadism needs time
Border crossings are down like 90%. Folks are scared.
And because he is being so cruel, folks are much more likely to show solidarity toward immigrants.
Which is my way of saying I don’t think the numbers are going to change. Unless the administration starts fudging. Which of course wouldn’t surprise me.
if he hears this he will just speed things up…
