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.
so more kids in detention centers?
?
if personnel is policy, then a good executive can make all sorts of improvements to otherwise crappy bipartisan laws.
we know nothing yet and it would probably be a good idea to see what we get before we take to the streets with pitchforks.
Conventional wisdom among Democrats since the Clinton administration has been: “if you triangulate yourself to be one iota to the left of the opposition, every center-right moderate republican will vote democrat. And everyone left of them has to vote democrat anyway, so you’ll win a majority as long as you’re right of the majority. If you lose, it’s because you didn’t go far enough to the right.”
This doesn’t actually work, since fascists just vote for the real thing over diet-fascism, and democrats passing right-wing policy decreases their turnout, but pretending it does allows them to justify policies that don’t conflict with their donor’s interests.
