      Perfect example. Trump says he wants to deport people that were born in the US (which obviously isn’t legal). Call in the military, shoot people attempting to cross the border. Texas is putting barbed wire on the border, the the Federal government (that’s Biden) is opposing it. They want the border completely shut down and people of certain ethnicity banned.

      The Dems want additional judges to process asylum applications faster. Which is good for everyone. There are some bad things in the bill, but Biden doesn’t have to enforce them and the courts will likely overturn them like they did with Trump’s Muslim ban. Getting the additional judges and staff needed to deal with the backlog of asylum claims is super important and will lessen the hardship on immigrants seeking asylum.

      So explain to me how trying to get asylum claims processed faster is exactly the same thing as Trump’s Muslim ban? Or building a wall? Or shooting people?

        Its a federal border. That barbed wire is his barbed wire. This is his presidency, this is how he is running the border.

        You do realize i have absolutely zero trust in Biden and this hinges on blind faith in Biden. Or at least youre arguing it does, i dont think Biden has any ability to control the bad things like fewer asylum approvals. Democrats, including Biden, have been using the same rhetoric as republicans, actively appealing to conservatives, assuring them they want a “stronger border”

          Address the main point. Do you think democrats and Republicans are equally bad when it comes to immigration?

            Yes. When is the difference supposed to be made clear? Like, theyre currently working with republicans on a bill to make things worse for immigrants.

              You think Democrats want to call in the national guard to shoot any immigrants attempting to cross the border?

              Or is that just Republicans?

                They want to better arm them to be able to shoot even more.

                  Well then you’re woefully misinformed. The Democrats are fighting to STOP the execution of immigrants.

                    Nah theyre right there with republicans calling for “stronger border security”. Trying to increase funding for border patrol.

          You haven’t been following the news. The Texas Governor put the barbed wire there. The Supreme Court upheld that he was able to do so(because of course they did). Biden is trying to remove it.

          Maybe try diversifying your news sources beyond TikTok.
