Congratulations. You have now spoken better and more eloquently on this subject, even while quoting one of the most damaging presidents in history, than Kamala has. That is really the crux of the issue with her attempting to court Republicans by pretending they are right in their isolationism.

What a stupid and disingenuous response. 1. That change affects all asylum applicants. 2. You used the wrong language. 3. This change gives less time for an applicant to gather evidence. I guess you could argue that this didn't make it more difficult to seek asylum but you'd be lying. 🫢

So? What would that have to do with the veracity or error of your position?

I agree, which is why, as I have stated, I will be voting for her. Sure would be nice if the Dems didn't respond to the rising fascist threat by sending Walz out there to talk about how much he agrees with them and how he knows that Vance really wants what's best for the country.

I posted that. I wrote the Alt text. I read the bill. What do you, in your magnificently ignorant bravado, think it means? Go on. Explain it for the class. What is the effect of that change?

If she wins while running to the Right and jumping in bed with the Cheneys, then I wouldn't put down much money on that bet.

Or... for people who actually care what the bill says and won't so blatantly lie about it, by actually MAKING IT HARDER: www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...

I agree. How does bringing up isolated incidents of crime, ceding ground on "the problem at the border", and making it more difficult for people in need to seek asylum do any of those things?

So they're just continuing to feed into the demonization of immigrants (or have you forgotten Biden's SOTU so quickly) and pushing a bill they don't believe in to score points? And they keep pushing it because they don't want to pass it. Got it.

I do understand that. Why would that be a problem? Lots of people want to live here. There are even more people coming here to seek a better life. That's bad because? If the only thing the bill did was make it easier to apply and accelerate approvals, that would be fine. That's not what it does.
