    In what world is advocating for border security akin to rendering folks by masked individuals and trafficking them to foreign countries without due process…?

    What democrat has ever advocated for ice to do what they’re currently doing?

    Pointing to how democrats advocating that strengthening our border doesn’t require kidnapping…

    Well you don’t really have a point do you?

      They weren’t advocating for security. They were advocating for more cops, more arrests, and more deportations.

      Pointing to how democrats advocating that strengthening our border

      Nothing either party has done has made the border more “secure”. The fact that you bought into this false narrative illustrates the damage the liberals have done. They’ve sold you the same bill of goods as the Republicans, in slightly different wrapping.

        We’re at a point where we can’t say how secure or insecure the border is. Saying dems haven’t secured anything is a meaningless statement while republicans state immigrant hordes are eating dogs and cats…

        Meanwhile democrats recognize the absurdity of painting immigrants with that brush while trying to be sensible with border policy given the line being fed to you folks about eating dogs all while you say any border action on behalf of dems is akin to masked ice agents trafficking mothers in broad daylight…

        All of this is you letting trump dictate terms

      It’s like saying the Republicans are right that you should be scared of immigrants and then being surprised when people vote out of fear for the person who will hurt those immigrants more. They didn’t campaign on mass deportation as one has claimed, but they did justify people’s fears of immigrants.

        They don’t campaign on that?

        “They’re eating the dogs and your cats…”

        “There is a mass horde attacking our border…”

        Republicans did. They did more or less make an enemy of immigrants, shape them into an “other” and now we’re starting to see citizens getting treated like immigrants and citizenship being eroded all while you say “well maybe dems don’t literally campaign on X…”
