Liberals: harm reduction

Read the fucking article. There’s at least some harm reduction compared to what the Republicans want and the status quo.

The bill, which Murphy described as a “compromise” also included provisions with more money for asylum lawyers and judges for the overloaded immigration system.

This is what we actually need. More money for judges and attorneys and whoever else is involved in the asylum process in order to more expeditiously get through the massive numbers of migrants. And people need to remember that a lot of these people are refugees. Fleeing for their own lives and those of their children. A lot of Americans need to remember that these are people.

They’re no different than you or I. We benefited from our ancestors mostly being able to come willy-nilly into the US and now we want to close the door? It’s frankly anti-American.

Give us your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Aside from the Native Americans, that is all of us. Every single one of us. It’s like boomers who ruined the housing market and the economy pulling the ladder up behind them, but worse.

We need more resources put into this so we can better determine who to let in and who to send back and to do so within a reasonable timeline. We have the money for that. The US is not hemorrhaging cash. But it sure is hemorrhaging humanity when it comes to refugees.

No we don’t, the wall does pretty much fuck all to stop illegal immigration. However, aside fom the fact its just her signing a bipartisan bill and not her own policy, there’s an election going on and VP Harris needs all the votes she can get.The wall is just a shiney thing to distract some idiots into voting for her. When the alternative is a party that wants to “deport millions” I’ll take throwing some money at a big stupid wall over the alternative.
