Joe Biden expected to sign executive order to curb immigration
Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?
Piss off your own base to appeal to less than a third of the electorate that isn't going to vote for you anyway.
This doesn't mean that 73% don't care.
Also, the "liberal" media has been hell-bent on scaring people on the border. Truth is, a lot of moderates are concerned about the border. And they determine elections. As president, he is expected to address people's concerns.
He doesn't seem to care about people's concerns over the genocide. He picks and chooses which concerns he addresses.
Offer void for progressives' concerns.
Even more so. That 27% likely won't even hear about this since Fox News and other right wing outlets won't cover it.
It's not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly "tough on crime," anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
Treating them like guaranteed votes is going to result in people staying home. It's bad strategy.
Or, and this is crazy, he could go ask the left for votes instead of trying to pull us all even further to the right.
Not like he's actually gonna do anything about the other two.
Is this just gonna be one of those things like him and zionism where he just suddenly wants to be as right wing as possible?
I find his base to be largely split on this issue. There’s the bleeding hearts who cry for amnesty (Sky Daddy bless their souls) and the at best ambivalent and at worst lipstick racist others.
The part of the base that this anti-immigration move will anger is the same part of the base that's already angry about the genocide.
It's like he's trying to piss them off specifically and as much as possible.
Weird that you think everyone left of the alt right view high immigration as an important issue
