    Well then you’re woefully misinformed. The Democrats are fighting to STOP the execution of immigrants.

        They’re literally not doing that, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re just completely wrong.

        Some Democrats are willing to compromise on the border - to allow stronger border security in exchange for getting something else from Republicans. Democrats do not want this.

        You just seem politically uninformed. I’d suggest studying a lot more and paying more attention before you dismiss both parties as the same. You think Democrats are doing things that they are not doing.

            That’s a package deal that would give aid to Ukraine. The border part is a compromise by Democrats.

                A couple of Texas dems lol. The most right wing of the Democratic party.

                Read for yourself: https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/creating-a-21st-century-immigration-system/

                We believe detention should be a last resort, not the default. Democrats will prioritize investments in more effective and cost-efficient community-based alternatives to detention. We will end for-profit detention centers and ensure that any facility where migrants are being detained is held to the highest standards of care and guarantees their safety and dignity. We will ensure all detention centers provide access to competent interpreters who speak migrants’ native languages and dialects. Detention of children should be restricted to the shortest possible time, with their access to education and proper care ensured. We will prioritize alternatives to detention for individuals with special vulnerabilities—those who are known to be suffering from serious physical or mental illness, who have disabilities, who are elderly, pregnant, or nursing, who demonstrate that they are primary caretakers of children or an infirm person, identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, gender non-conforming, or intersex, or whose detention is otherwise not in the public interest.

                Democrats will implement robust mechanisms for oversight, accountability, and transparency to ensure immigration agencies abide by our values, the U.S. Constitution, and international law. Democrats believe immigration judges should be able to operate free of inappropriate political influence, and will support steps to make immigration courts more independent. We will demand that leaders of our immigration agencies be Senate-confirmed professionals, and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection personnel abide by our values and professional, evidence-based standards and are held accountable for any inappropriate, unlawful, or inhumane treatment.
