Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

    He’s literally continued Trump’s border policies with the exception of family separation.

      That’s a pretty damned huge exception. Also, the dumbass wall. Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers. Also, he tried to undo Trump’s covid immigration executive order, which got blocked by courts. Actually, they’re quite different. In fact if you think Biden’s policies are bad, you better hope and pray Trump doesn’t get back in.

      Edit: How could I forget DACA.

        The OP is about an executive order to crack down on asylum seekers.

          Yes, he is limiting the number of asylum seekers. Yes Trump is going to be infinitely worse if he’s elected.

              Trump literally wants to be Hitler and turn the US into a dictatorship.

              Have you NOT BEEN paying attention?

              JFC, you people are in for a rude awakening if Trump actually gets elected. Of course, then it’ll be too late.

                What you fail to understand is that’s not infinitely worse, that’s somewhat worse.

                I have been paying attention, have you? We’re already doing genocide, our prisons are already overflowing, we’re already federally prosecuting protesters, yet somehow you think everything is fine. This election is between rude Hitler and polite Hitler. That’s it.

                    I’m trans in a red state, no matter who wins the election they’re probably going to take away my hormones and then my life is over. I’ll either become a homeless refugee in a blue state or… do something drastic that would get me banned if I talk about it.

                    Biden isn’t going to stop them. He hasn’t stopped them from taking away abortion rights, why would he give a shit about me?

        Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can’t just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn’t restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he’s trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it’s okay to leave.

        Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we’ve signed and ratified.

        Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump’s muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump’s Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.

        He did all of this in plain view and you can’t be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.
