I stopped reading at this sentence: "Miller, if you recall (or maybe you’d rather not), was Trump’s notorious immigration czar who separated little kids from migrant parents and put them in cages as a border enforcement measure among many, many other cruel policies." Didn't Biden do the same, or am I missing something?
Does the fact that Biden continued many of Trump's policies invalidate the fact that the child separation policy was created, and largely implemented, by Stephen Miller?
You'll have to wait for the article next week mentioned in the first paragraph ;)
But iirc, Biden isn't separating families as a cruel form of deterrance. The minors who are being detained were unaccompanied and they are working to find relatives, etc.
Still nothing to be proud of, but a slight improvement.
Immigration policy is at an empasse because, while immigration is inevitable due to the reasons outlined above, the median voter is still pissed off about immigration. There is politically practical move forward on immigration and it's depressing as hell.
I made it through the article but like you I was tempted to stop in the first paragraph when it became clear that Dalmia was insulting her readers. By now everyone knows that Trump wasn’t the first to separate families at the border nor did he build the cages. Dalmia knows this. Why would she lose her credibility in the first paragraph? We expect thoughtful analysis not rank partisan misdirection.
Just another spitball to make it even more obvious that some yoyos would prefer to see Trump at the top of the GOP ticket. Not that even Trump (odious as he is) could not prevail in 2024; after all the 2020 charade was manipulated to lose all resemblence to a real campaign. And that could hardly be repeated, not even with the aid of Tik Tok or any other AI spin-off. A reasonable alternative would have an even better chance. One of those is DeSantis, which is why the hysterical s*it-storm to try to discredit him. An ugly piece of agit-prop.
