Looking to shore upĀ Latino votesĀ in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden isĀ on the verge ofĀ soon followingĀ up last weekās executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with anotherĀ moveĀ focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizensĀ and without criminal records.
Well, Democratsā new positions on immigration are lifted from the GOP policy book, so why not use Republicansā insincere bullshit for punishing brown people for existing as well?
I wrote overcrowded, not overrun. Theyāre not taking over, theyāre fucking homeless. Get off your high horse and realize that being homeless in the streets of NYC is not how we should be āshelteringā a migrant or refugee.
Hochul provided NYC with migrant funding for a year, and the funds are already allocated. Thereās no more money to buy or rent buildings for shelter. As migrants leave, they let in new ones. That didnāt stop migrants from making their way to NYC and living in the streets and subways. Thatās the literal definition of overcrowding.
Iām 100% for migrant and refugee support. That requires funding. Congress wonāt give us money, so Bidenās restricting the flow of migrants.

And I wasnāt quoting you, was I?
Oh, I can see how thatās worse. You might have to see them.
Turning them away entirely isnāt preferable. āRemain in Mexicoā isnāt preferable. Youāre using Republican talking points to defend Republican policy.
Your narrative twisting is abhorrent. You implied that my description of overcrowding, when referencing a city that has no shelter to offer migrants, was akin to the Republican calls of being overrun, which implies some migrant takeover. Itās wrong, and either you are being manipulative, or you donāt know the definition of those words.
Iām very compassionate for these people. They absolutely deserve our support in the form of amnesty and shelter. They should be entering the country and given resources to support them while they recover from a horrific journey, and decide if they want to naturalize or move to another nation.
You say a lot about what Biden shouldnāt be doing. Iād love for you to make a suggestion on how he can address the lack of resources without the power to allocate more.
And are willing to use the absence of shelter as a justification for denying amnesty. Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
You still havenāt provided a suggestion of what Biden should do for them. Iām done entertaining your unconstructive criticism. Let me know if you ever have an original thought or suggestion that isnāt simply abject condemnation.
Let me know if thereās a trump policy you wouldnāt support if a Democrat implemented it.
