  1. He’d be smart to take that off the political table for November voters.

  2. Which means that it’s now officially 100% the republicans who are keeping the border open.

  3. The most progressive president of our time, ladies and gentlemen!

  4. if they cant even impeach him for it, since they havent found a single thing wrong yet, then hes golden XD

  5. He may as well take this issue off the table. The “progressives” are already upset with him over Israel. Most democrats will stick w him if only to defeat trump again, and Biden needs to make up for the loss of the far left by appealing to the center right (especially the never trumpers who might stay home otherwise)

  6. GOP was on the cusp of passing a bipartisan deal, they just couldn’t cross the threshold. It was as if some invisible boundary prevented them from doing so, they came to the brink of an agreement and then backed away.

  7. siding or conceding to nazis is never a good thing imotbh

  8. The border north of Texas? Oklahomas gonna have to step it up to keep the Texans out

  9. Why couldn’t he put Title 42 back in place? Trump essentially “closed” the border without the consent of Congress.

  10. For everyone saying that this is just Biden caving to republicans, a majority of Americans see what’s going on as a crisis or serious problem. What’s going on is unsustainable for everyone and there needs to be something done about it rather than the just unmitigated allowance of thousands of people a day coming through with no where to go or being shipped out to blue states from Texas

  11. Calling their bluff. They don’t want any action taken. Just wanna keep using the issue to campaign on. It’s all they got

  12. The “serious immigration issue” the Republicans don’t seems to be eager to solve before the election.

    So either it’s not that serious and they’re making that up, or it is serious and they ready to let the country be damaged so they can campaign on it.

  13. This is some brilliant Dark Brandon stuff. He knows Republicans have no intention of sending him a deal.

  14. GOP could pivot and say Biden is too old. BUT they can’t because they are pushing an equally old guy.

  15. Right wing media Stokes till the Republicans are frothing at the mouth over it. Then Trump hands it to Biden on a silver platter. Truly the biggliest of geniuses.

  16. I don’t believe it in practice, only because I don’t believe the border can actually be shut effectively. It’ll always leak like a sieve, and to claim otherwise is unrealistic.

  17. Democrats are always going to be damned if they do and damned if they don’t. So the Democrats just need to fucking roll right the hell over the Republicans at every possible opportunity, and do the right thing. Use every legal means possible just roll right over there bullshit. If you’ve got a issue an executive order every day, issue an executive order every day.

    Really and truly actually investigate the holy shit out of every one of those Republicans. I guarantee you every single one of them is doing something fully corrupt, and way worse than just insider training. (Which I am also pissed about but willing to ignore for now, because fuck those Republicans.)

  18. > It was a stark claim from a Democratic president that was met with astonishment and shock from immigrant advocates who have said his policies do not reflect the progressive approach they had expected.

    > “Voters want to see our elected leaders do the hard work to fix our frayed immigration system,” said Deirdre Schifeling, chief political and advocacy officer at the American Civil Liberties Union. “President Biden and Congress must abandon these proposals and heed voters’ demands for fair and effective immigration policies that manage the border and treat people seeking safety with dignity.”

    This person has no idea what Ctrl+Alt+Del does ⌛️

  19. This whole mess is really going to bite the GOP in the arse come november.

  20. If congress could run a department that actually completed paperwork in a timely manner, we wouldn’t have a border crisis in the first place.

    Obligatory mention: our net population would be negative if not for immigration propping it up. Not sure if this is the smartest platform to run on, possibly the dumbest. They’ll serve their own shrinking base sure, but lose independant votes in the process

  21. What’s the play here?

    You’re not going to out-Republican the Republicans, so tell them to pound sand.

  22. Better to open the borders and solve our immigration problems. There’s no illegal immigration if all immigration is legal.

  23. How shocking, there’s absolutely no discussion about this on the front page of the conservative subreddit.
