Biden considering executive action to close southern border, sources say

I won't rehash my opinions, they already been better said here, but I want to add I hate the phrase "close the border". What the fuck does that mean, was it open, did the last one in forget to close the door?

From the article, he is considering taking action "to restrict migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border if they crossed illegally" which has a lot more nuance and is important to the discussion. So this will specifically affect people who have a legitimate claim to asylum, the border was never "open" to any migrants without it (or a visa).

Why though? It's been proven and shown with many many video recordings that the so-called "border crisis" is completely made up. Yes, there are a lot of people at the border seeking asylum, but it's not a horde of people a la World War Z forming a human tidal wave crashing over the Rio Grande.

Im sure the democrats will stand up against this like they did when Trump did it. Lol what a joke.

This is clearly an attempt to get elected instead of the orange catastrophe.

In my humble POV I believe closing the border with the #1 business partner of the US isn't a good idea.

That'll bring San Diego to a halt. Nobody can afford to live in San Diego.

"Biden considers vague unspecified action on a subject that over 70% of the American electorate considers a problem, clearly Both Sides are Just As Bad"

how would that work anyway? military patrols along the border fence? reinforcing the fence and billions of dollars of investment into Border Patrol and ICE?

Member when dubya did that?

I member.

Lasted 48 hours

It's just a virtue signal that Dems appropriated from Repubs as the Overton Window has shifted to the right. In actually neither of them will do anything to affect real change because too many companies make a shitload of money exploiting the fuck out of immigrants. Then these assholes get to scapegoat these same immigrants as some kind of root cause for how the middle class is doing worse getting fucked over while Wall Street keeps breaking records. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it would be over $20.

Biden’s team somehow thinks that enacting republican policies are going to win him more democrat voters?

Either that or Biden has been a republican this whole time and is enacting policy he openly supports.

Leaning towards the second option, but man. Biden is going to lose the fuck out of this election.

I don’t think there’s much he could do at this point to win my vote. He’s already doubled down on every issue I care about.

And I’m definitely not alone. Fuck neoliberals.

And fyi. I don’t fucking care if the other guy is worse. Please stop saying that shit over and over again.

I've keep being put into a position where I have to further my consideration in voting for Biden.

He's the strongest the Democrats can muster, we can't have any one else (but please don't criticize him, he's incredibly weak, a strong breeze will knock him over). Hes the best option we've got to stop a Palestinian genocice (oh except earlier today he vetoed a vote via the UN that could have stopped the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people). But we have to vote Biden because Trump would probably be worse (even though, you know, Biden is the one right now supporting the genocide. not hypothetical).

If you think this delusional policy is defensible, right here right now, you are part of the problem.

NO right wing voter is going to support Biden. PERIOD. NONE. You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left. Literally every Democratic victory in 60 fucking years have happened that way. But yeah, keep pursuing these genocidal right of Rumsfield positions, Democrats. I"m sure you'll find that center once you have cripwalked past Cheny's undead beating heart of evil.

THe entire last decade of political progress made by progressives has been lost because of this idiot.

Absolutely disgusting. I don't know how I can vote for this despicable person again. Appalling. Democrats are supposedly the good party?

Give me one reason to vote for this fascist that isn't "he's not Trump."

P.S. Willem van Spronsen was a hero, and I wish we all could follow his example.

Fuck your imaginary border.
