In reply to the discussion: Sanders breaks with Democrats, praises Trump's border policy on podcast [View all]JBTaurus83
(731 posts)31. What was being shown daily on TV
Was a disaster for Biden. More action should have been taken at the border, and yes I know the Republicans blocked the bill. This is an issue we will need to take a hard line on before the next elections. Immigration is bringing down center left and centrist governments all over the globe. If it were a perfect world Id say we need more immigrants and let in as many people as we realistically can, but, that isnt how the majority of voters feel. We can be tough on the border and also hold ICE fully accountable for their actions and cut their budget.
