Just one thing. He only technically ended title 42 immigration restrictions. Effectively he continued Trump's policies with his own, slightly different policy.
He repealed the Muslim ban on March 6, 2021. He overturned Title 42 on May 11, 2023. There were no Presidential border restrictions in place until recently. He spent that time pressing Congress to pass immigration reform and they failed. With sanctuary cities over capacity, and no federal funding, he needed to begin to restrict entry again.
Oh how I wish you were right.
13 May 2023, Guardian, "Title 42 migration restrictions have ended, but Biden’s new policy is tougher"
The upshot is they have to stay in the dangerous country and get approval via an app (that of course has trouble with facial recognition for BIPOC people) and a consulate visit before traveling. This is because if they go to another country for this process the government claims they found a safe country already.
And sanctuary cities are not "over capacity" nor are they even an official thing. The federal government does not recognize them. It's a local decision to not cooperate with ICE. The entire idea that the country has a "capacity" is far right bullshit that goes straight back to 1800's immigrant bashing.
Edit to add-
I especially love this bit, where we cap the number of people from infamously failed and violent countries. And require them to have a connect. Is having a president who doesn't get sued by the ACLU for immigration too much to ask?
i was also going to point out biden's 100% tariffs on electric vehicles contradicts climate initiatives; supporting trump's immigration policies (as you just did); etc. and i want to say it's nice to hear someone else splash a dose of reality into the conversation.
The only way I could get behind his Chinese tariffs is if he unleashed a DARPA moonshot on batteries and open sourced the resulting technology. But no he dived straight for protectionism and letting the traditional companies sell us cars at double the size and triple the price the market should be at.
So you think we should be in full support of trade with China? Even with their ongoing genocide, threats to the Philippines and Thailand, and active surveillance systems in the US?
I gave a legal and internationally safe alternative and you went straight to, "full support of China". Come on dude. At least try and engage in good faith.
So here's a couple ideas you might like better, I guess. We tell the CIA we want those specs; or we buy a hundred for a rip and rebuild and open source the results. Give them the Russian tank/plane treatment.
I wrote “full support of trade with China.” People are protesting for divestment from Israel over genocide in tents they bought from China. I’m just saying it’s hypocritical.
A massive investment in DARPA is hypocritical?
