    I shoulda put repugnant in quotes because…it’s not my word. It’s Justin’s word. It’s the people *he* considers repugnant, not what Republicans think.

    Faux Fascist Noise is suddenly hysterically trying to push the idea that toilet paper shortages are sweeping the nation again, all Biden's fault of course

    Because if we pass a border security bill only, Democrats have no assurances Republicans will ever get back to a bill regarding green cards, etc.

    And if we pass a DACA/pathway to citizenship bill only, Republicans will have no assurances Democrats will ever get back to a border security bill.

    This may shock you: But compromises like this is how we’ve traditionally accomplished anything.

    Actual criminals … murderers. … rapists … should be where we prioritize any deportation efforts.

    Does anyone disagree those people are repugnant?

    Does anyone disagree those people should be deported?

    No. But I don’t know why deporting murderers would need to be a bargaining chip.

    Hold on - I'll scroll back and try to find where I said that.

    “I believe Democrats would agree to border security measures and stringent deportation of the truly repugnant in exchange for green cards and true pathways to citizenship.”

    This, to me, assumes Democrats wouldn’t agree to stringent deportation of the truly repugnant without getting something in exchange.

    There is a standing backlog in immigration courts.

    I'll happily edit to "increased funding for immigration courts so we can more effectively push forward on deportations for actual criminals."

    Does that make you feel better?
