Is there anything he can do right in their eyes???
Die, probably. But then that would result in President Kamala Harris and I think they’d hate that even more.

Wait so Biden revives a Trump policy……and now Republicans have a problem with it, but don’t give specifics as to why they suddenly have a problem with it?

Its not that. Its the timing. Hes changing policies in the short term, and as soon as hes elected hell go right back to letting everyone in.

But he isn’t letting everyone in. Very important point.

Oh so your problem with it is what you think he’s going to do in the future after he’s re-elected, rather than the thing he actually did?
Kaboom@reddthat.com 5 months ago
He did it for the last 3 and a half years. Do you really think hes going to stop now?
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 5 months ago
Which is my point exactly.
When he does something Repubs don’t like, rage.
When he does something Repubs like, rage anyway over perceived incoming unlikable thing.
What if you’re wrong and he doesn’t reverse this later?

I know some ppl trying to take a three week vacation to the US. They applied for a visa. They need to do an interview to get the visa. The interview is scheduled a year and a half from the day they applied and is on a random weekday in a city 8 hours from where they live.
They applied in 2023. Biden is doing the opposite of letting everyone in. They make it such a pain for just tourists, let alone residency visas.

The problem is that they’re trying to do it legally.

Biden’s presidency has continued and expanded upon Trump’s migration policies, rather than breaking from them. In early 2020, Trump used the COVID pandemic as an excuse to invoke Title 42, enabling the expulsion of migrants and asylum seekers at the border, which resulted in the detention and deportation of nearly 400,000 migrants before Trump left office. Instead of revoking this policy once he became president, Biden defended it, and oversaw the deportation of 2.8 million people under the policy between January 2021 and May 2023, expanding it to include Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. In May 2023, Biden replaced Title 42 with another harsh set of regulations, increasing requirements for migrants to be eligible for asylum. Throughout his presidential tenure, Biden has also increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and expanded ICE contracts and ICE surveillance programs.

You’re putting far more thought into this than any conservative
