The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.
It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.
Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.
Fucking why?
The Democrats are trying to fight a problem that has been entirely fabricated by the Republican party. There is no migrant crime wave, there is no “invasion” on the southern border, and there is no reason to implement harsher restrictions on the border than to appeal to voters who do not live in our reality.
There are definitely good steps we can make on immigration reform, namely funding for more judges to hear more asylum cases to try and punch through the backlog, but adopting a draconian policy because a propoganda machine has spread a myth is not the way forward. Trying to pass legislation like this just gives the myths made by Fox News more credibility.
Sounds like you’ve got it
That’s a terrible idea though. The efforts should be focused on reaching the people who still have functioning brains who have been tricked into thinking migrant crime is a serious issue and deprogramming them, not hurting real migrants over a fantasy.
