Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

    As president, he is expected to address people’s concerns.

    Offer void for progressives’ concerns.

      Generally he has leaned progressive when he can. He doesn’t when he can’t. That’s literally all you can expect from him. I’d rather him win the election and continue to do as much good as he can than lose and let Trump do as much damage as he can.

        I’d rather people who are happy with him adopting Trump’s policies quit acting like anyone who has any criticism of him at all is a Trump supporter.

          This is far from Trump policies. And nobody said you were a Trump supporter.

            He’s literally continued Trump’s border policies with the exception of family separation.

              That’s a pretty damned huge exception. Also, the dumbass wall. Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers. Also, he tried to undo Trump’s covid immigration executive order, which got blocked by courts. Actually, they’re quite different. In fact if you think Biden’s policies are bad, you better hope and pray Trump doesn’t get back in.

              Edit: How could I forget DACA.

                The OP is about an executive order to crack down on asylum seekers.

                  Yes, he is limiting the number of asylum seekers. Yes Trump is going to be infinitely worse if he’s elected.

                    Infinitely worse? Try somewhat worse.

                    They’re not nearly as different as they should be.

                Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can’t just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn’t restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he’s trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it’s okay to leave.

                Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we’ve signed and ratified.

                Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump’s muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump’s Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.

                He did all of this in plain view and you can’t be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.
