Let's ne real the border is an issue and illegal immigration is an issue that particularly affects black people. However Repubs never gave 2 fukks about it really bc illegal immigration helps big businesses where they can hire labor for pennies to the dollar. If repubs truly gave a fukk they would penalize any buscaught hiring illegal immigrants
Where is this coming from? Like drop some 'knowledge' on me. Because that statement flies in the face of every day reality. We're still racing to get fruit picking jobs in 2023?

They think that 8th grade dropouts that cannot speak English, gonna take away their STEM Tony Stark guru careers making $200k a year :skip:

They always think that blacks work the worst jobs possible for the least amount of pay.

This whole thing feels like a trap for Biden. Republicans blocked much needed Ukraine Aid and said they wouldn't support it unless Democrats came to the table on border policy changes. Biden came to the table, and there is currently a deal Senate Republicans and Democrats are making, but there's no guarantee that if something passes the Senate, it will pass in the House because many Republicans would rather see Biden embarrassed than actually pass legislation. If this deal fell apart and the lack of Ukraine Aid caused something bad to happen to Ukraine, Biden would look bad on the international stage in an election year. Not the Republicans who blocked it.

Plus, it's important to remember that Republicans have had multiple chances to actually pass actual immigration reform in Congress. Most Republicans in the Senate voted against Bush's immigration reform bill in 2007 for not being conservative enough, in 2013 the Republican Speaker of the House wouldn't even put Obama's immigration reform bill that had passed the US Senate with bi-partisan support on the floor for a vote, and nothing ever came of Biden's reform plans that were sent to Congress right after he was sworn in, in 2021. Because they would rather use border/immigration issues as something to fear monger to white people, and to campaign on to win votes and achieve power rather than help fix the problem.

Fiona Hill, longtime Russia intelligence analyst that worked in Bush, Obama, Trump administrations. (She was a witness in Trump's 1st Impeachment)

“Ukraine has become a battlefield now for America and America’s own future — whether we see it or not — for our own defensive posture and preparedness, for our reputation and our leadership,” she told me. “For Putin, Ukraine is a proxy war against the United States, to remove the United States from the world stage.”

She’s been talking to some lawmakers about Ukraine, and she’s worried that their partisanship has blinded them to the dangers the country faces if Putin gets his way.

“The problem is that many members of Congress don’t want to see President Biden win on any front,” she said. “People are incapable now of separating off ‘giving Biden a win’ from actually allowing Ukraine to win. They are thinking less about U.S. national security, European security, international security and foreign policy, and much more about how they can humiliate Biden.”

“In that regard,” she continued, “whether they like it or not, members of Congress are doing exactly the same thing as Vladimir Putin. They hate that. They want to refute that. But Vladimir Putin wants Biden to lose, and they want Biden to be seen to lose as well.”

Most overblown political issue of the last 4 decades. It's not even close.

They think that 8th grade dropouts that cannot speak English, gonna take away their STEM Tony Stark guru careers making $200k a year :skip:

White people in general are worried about demographic change and not being the majority.

So any issue that's even tangentially related to that such as immigration (too many brown people coming in!), affirmative action (unqualified black peole taking our jobs!), or abortion (white women not having enough babies!) is very easy for conservative politicians to exploit and rile up white voters for their own benefit. This isn't new but they've been especially blatant about it since Trump blew up.

An effective leader who really wants to fight for his cause/policies would find a way to get shyt done.

In American democracy: "The other party won't let me lead :mjcry: "
