Wouldn't making it easy for immigrants to become citizens help reduce inflation?

Since then it would improve the participants / total USD ratio?

He needs to prepare the country for Emperor Trump.

This is what I don't get about conservatives. They will bitch about immigration and say the border is wide open. Like no my guy it's so much worse than before. If you are a single issue voter 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘺

It was never about the border.

It is open.

Here's the thing, this uses the same legal framework that Trump tried to use when his border crossing ban was struck down in court. Most likely this will be challenged immediately and struck down. This feels like a desperate bid to please moderates and republicans IMO. Not like this will actually survive to be enforced. Still horribly irresponsible and pussy-footing though.

“The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.” - Malcom X

Remember, folks... friends don't let friends remain liberals.

Apart from a few minor things here and there, I don't disagree with Chapman on this - which is a rare thing for me with Chapman's videos these days. I stopped watching him when he endorsed Engel's ludicrous attempt to justify authoritarianism.

Asylum seekers are the ones turning themselves in... and it is well known closing off asylum seekers and increasing deportations directly leads to more border crossings.

What is the gameplan here with this order? Surely commit extensive resources to the bottlenecked bureacracy to help with processing and screening asylum seekers? Right?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago

Everyone crossing the border is trained to claim they are seeking asylum and they can't go back to their home country.

Again it's Biden way of trying to gain the Republican vote (which the Democrats know they can't win) rather than try gain progressive vote.

I think he doesn't want to be president and he's throwing the election

Only thing that makes sense at this point
