32% approval rating on immigration for Biden vs the biggest border hawk there has ever been in Trump, yeah, I'm the one out to lunch.
We can all want there to be sensible reform and also acknowledge fear-mongering when it's happening.
Is there evidence that illegal immigrants crime at a higher rate than citizens or legal immigrants?
the point of that clip was to point out the hypocrisy of Joy Reid and her guest that they are laughing through a nontrivial political policy that will have a huge impact on their audience. They brush it aside for their audience like it's no big deal because they think the right thing to do is to grab amnesty to everyone who has crossed and seeking asylum who have been released into the country REGARDLESS of past and present criminal history. These two as a matter of policy, have no problem with an open border.
It's funny. I suspect I know
way more lefties than you do, and outside of one lunatic out in Portland I don't know any that want an open border. Ironically I have a few hardcore right wing Libertarian friends that don't think there should be any national borders at all.
But straw man crap aside, I wonder why it doesn't bother you that Republicans have been blocking immigration reform for decades. Our amnesty disfunction is 100% a result of that fact. And then they get to use immigration as their evergreen political issue, since their fear mongering clearly works every time.
So the immigration issue is clearly a problem, but time and again Republicans scuttle fixing the problem and it doesn't occur to you to ever hold
them accountable? I guess you buy into their bullsh** that they're holding out for the magical day when they run everything, at which point they'll flip off all of the corporations cashing in on cheap labor and permanently shut down the border?
