Under Biden, more asylum seekers are being held in private detention centers than under Trump.
and her response might as well have been written by Nancy Pelosi. god she fucking sucks
::: spoiler the full question and answer Speaking of our closest neighbors, I want to talk about immigration. Under Biden, more asylum seekers are being held in private detention centers than under Trump. Families are still being separated. The Biden administration kept Trump-era policies that sped up deportations and made it harder for legitimate claimants to come to the U.S. So, what grade do you give the administration on immigration?
Immigration is arguably this administration’s weakest issue. This is one area where our policy is dictated by politics, arguably more so than almost any other. There are very clear recommendations and suggestions that we have made to the administration to provide relief on this issue, and it’s my belief that some of the hesitation around this has to do with a fear around just being seen as approving or providing permission structures, or really just the Republican narratives that have surrounded immigration.
We also need to examine the root causes of this migration and address that this problem doesn’t start at our border, but it starts with our foreign policy.
how the fuck are families still being separated. these people are monsters
They could reform ICE and CBP, or they could instead buy another aircraft carrier.
reform? 
People always talk about changing the system from within, but neglect the fact that the system changes you as well
This is why a lot of communists are very clear that the point of getting elected isn't to succeed in reforms (thought that is nice) it's to get inside the glass house so you can commence rock throwing.
