I love how liberals did such a 180 on immigration once Biden was the figurehead overseeing it, instead of Trump "What? It's not 2018, we are not pretending to care about asylum seekers anymore." or "What, no the border wall was fascist when Trump was building it, now that Biden is building it, it is good and liberal. We need to keep our borders safe. We are not loony leftists that just want open borders and anarchy."
It's more of a 180 on rhetoric than action. Obummer was vicious to migrants, trying to win over the gop by displays of brutality. Or it was just Obama being Obama, i don't really have a good grasp of how self aware the man is or what his actual political goals ever were.
to leave a legacy of civility and eruditeness.

It's the same as with drone murders, we've seen a constant march towards more and more all-out barbarism over the last two decades and it's carried by an unquestionable bipartisan consensus. Exterminatory anti-immigration policy is now shaping up to develop in the same way, both in the US and the EU. Liberal policymakers know what kind of migration climate change will inevitably lead to in the next decades, and because they also know they won't do anything about the climate, that means they have completely fallen in line with the fascists on causing mass death at the borders.
Good thing we voted the fascists out of office, guys.

Taking executive action on the border has been described internally as the nuclear option. But it's clearly still on the table.
While the number of migrant crossings has declined during the first part of the year, Biden officials know they have a political problem over the border and immigration.
"This border shit is hurting our political chances! We need to shut it down!"

For Democrats, there have been some warning signs that Biden is losing support with Latino voters.
In his first year in office, Biden held a 54-24 advantage over former President Trump, according to the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo.
That 29-point margin has dropped to 9 points, with Biden leading Trump 41-32.
Other evidence suggests that Democrats aren't losing that much Latino support. Hispanic voters favor Democrats over Republicans 61-35, according to the latest Pew Research Center survey.
"This border shit is hurting our political chances! But not that bad and the other guys are obviously worse, so whatevs."

"We're examining whether or not I have that power," Biden told Univision's Enrique Acevedo in an interview taped last week that aired Tuesday night.
"Some are suggesting that I should just go ahead and try it," Biden said. "And if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court."
Biden was clear that he has not made a final decision, adding that there was "no guarantee" that he has the power to take action on the border without legislation from Congress.

Biden used the interview to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza.
"I think what he's doing is a mistake," Biden said in the interview.
"I don't agree with his approach."

I just don't understand how you can type all that up and not question both your sanity and soul.
Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.
