I was under the impression the border policy is exactly the same as Trump's policies, did something change? Or do these fascist freaks want them gunning down anyone that passes by the border?

There is an election coming up and the republicans have been proactive in pushing this as an issue. What the actual policy is doesn’t matter, which is why trying to appease chuds from the centre is a suckers game.

Biden doesn’t make speeches about the evil illegals down at the border every two days, so he isn’t doing enough. Quiet cruelty misses the point.

I think they just kind of bitch about this stuff no matter what. Least, that's how it's been since I first started paying attention to this stuff during Bush Jr.

Yeah I guess, but idk it seems like they're more violent and hateful in their rhetoric now. I probably didn't pay much attention though

Yeah, there's a marked escalation here. I sort of wonder if Joe's general aura of fecklessness is giving them an opening they didn't have under Obama or something.
