    This is going to make Biden double down on his illegal border actions…

    Which is the absolute worst path for Biden on this issue.

    All the voters that agree with Republicans on this topic are going to keep supporting trump, this will just push Dem voters from Biden. It’s important to remember when polls say “~60% of voters” that includes all the Republicans too, leaving ~10% of Dems. Biden needs to be looking at polls about specifically Dem voters and what we want.

    Having the ACLU fight a Dem president for doing something that Dems (rightfully) criticized trump for doing a few years ago is just a bad look in the run up to an election. Especially when the main reason people give for voting Dem is to stop trump.

    Becoming more like trump is the opposite of what he should be doing.

      The 180 in immigration has been disheartening to watch. Remember when everyone openly mocked “build the wall” dipshits?

        What’s worse than seeing it happen, is people saying Biden knows it won’t do anything, he’s just doing it to get republicans to vote for him…

        Like, they don’t realize they’re saying Biden should break the law and commit human rights abuses to get votes like that’s not disqualifying for lots of Dems voters.

        Especially when Biden won’t do the same thing for left leaning voters.

        It just makes it seem like Biden feels entitled to our votes, won’t do anything to help us, and is willing to break the laws and violate his personal morals for the chance a handful of Republicans will switch parties.

        I legitimately can not understand their (or Biden’s) logic on this. It only makes sense if they honestly want to do this stuff, and are just making excuses to rationalize it.

        Which again, just turns off Dem voters and makes Biden’s re-election less likely. And why we should be running candidates who agrees with Dem voters. Rather than convincing voters to vote for someone who doesn’t agree with them.

        It’s a slap in the face to Dem voters, and historically results in Republican presidents.

          And the “best” part is they’re doing this to court “republican moderates” who don’t exist and wouldn’t even vote for him if they did.
