In reply to the discussion: Fetterman kisses Trump rump: "Democrats bungled border issue under Biden" [View all]Silent Type
(12,300 posts)16. I've pretty much supported open borders for people coming here for a better life. But think we would have won
if Biden had restricted border a few years ago. More importantly, it would have saved people who have been here contributing for years from trumpster hatred and deportation.
In fact, believe we would have won had VP Harris gone to border in military fatigues, with a pistol strapped to her leg, and crawled into a tunnel with a knife in her teeth to pull out an immigrant.
My community is like 40% immigrant with most missing a paper or two, but they are better neighbors and contribute more than the rubes who hate them. Fear for them because every time trumps approval rating declines, hell deport a bunch to please his supporters.

Unfortunately, Biden's legislation was way too late to do any good in this respect. As I said upstream,

The border was a mess. I tried to say on DU that Biden made a mistake, but was accused of not being a Democrat
