The border deal provided amnesty that is clearly NOT in the interests of uneducated and poor citizens.

You should inform yourself about the bipartisan border bill that Trump killed at the last moment. The "amnesty" thing only exists as a propaganda talking point. The bill tightened up requirements for asylum and imposed automatic deportation rules.


There is a link in this thread that I'll never find that refutes your point. It quotes the bill even.

There isn't. Go read the bill.

Hell, the bill was co-authored by republicans, and even approved by some republicans after Trump told them to sit.

Who falls for this bullshit talking point?


I tried to find it, maybe it was another thread.

In any event, I'm not saying I agree with trump that the bill should have been squashed. It just had a lot of provisions and exceptions that one could take umbrage with, if read impartially, which right now probably is a bit too tricky for half the country.

I didn't vote for the guy, I don't like the guy. I find it to be a fascinating mental exercise to hold two opposing ideas in my head without accepting or denying either. I think someone smart said that once, long time ago.

Emotion clouds judgement.
