Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
Well, Democrats’ new positions on immigration are lifted from the GOP policy book, so why not use Republicans’ insincere bullshit for punishing brown people for existing as well?
I wrote overcrowded, not overrun. They’re not taking over, they’re fucking homeless. Get off your high horse and realize that being homeless in the streets of NYC is not how we should be “sheltering” a migrant or refugee.
Hochul provided NYC with migrant funding for a year, and the funds are already allocated. There’s no more money to buy or rent buildings for shelter. As migrants leave, they let in new ones. That didn’t stop migrants from making their way to NYC and living in the streets and subways. That’s the literal definition of overcrowding.
I’m 100% for migrant and refugee support. That requires funding. Congress won’t give us money, so Biden’s restricting the flow of migrants.

And I wasn’t quoting you, was I?
Oh, I can see how that’s worse. You might have to see them.
Turning them away entirely isn’t preferable. “Remain in Mexico” isn’t preferable. You’re 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. It’s wrong, and either you are being manipulative, or you don’t know the definition of those words.
I’m 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 shouldn’t be doing. I’d 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 haven’t provided a suggestion of what Biden should do for them. I’m done entertaining your unconstructive criticism. Let me know if you ever have an original thought or suggestion that isn’t simply abject condemnation.
Let me know if there’s a trump policy you wouldn’t support if a Democrat implemented it.
