You clearly said they "did nothing." Those are your words
Now it's clear they did do a lot. That graph shows they expelled a LOT of people.
So you're wrong in saying that they "did nothing," it's that they "didn't do as much as I feel they should."
They haven't been consistently enforcing the law for decades. That's a fact.
Biden has deportations because he was turning people away at the border and they counted that as a "deportation."
But there are 1.4 million people in the country with final deportation orders which they were not deporting. Then an additional 670,000 with criminal records that are illegal.
That's why we keep hearing these SOB stories about people having been here for 20 years now being deported. It's because a lot of them had final deportation orders that wasn't being enforced.
I asked you to link me to where he got rid of visa requirements (like the EU has, for example), Border Patrol, or border checkpoints and you didn't.
So AGAIN, it's not "open border policies" it's more like "policies that don't expel people as much as I want them to," which is quite different.
Biden did specific actions that essentially opened the floodgates. Never said anything about "visa requirements" so don't know how that's relevant.
1. He got rid of the "Remain in Mexico" while applying for asylum program.
2. He instituted the CBP One app to allow applying for asylum remotely letting in hundreds of thousands.
3. He instituted the "catch and release" policy where anyone caught at the border to just be given a future court date and just released into the country.
4. He gave humanitarian parole to hundreds of thousands of new people.
5. He gave temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of people.
Mind pointing out where they're "closing their borders" in those articles? I only see a mention of Chile doing so but in early 2020 at the outbreak of Covid.
No just read the article.
I'm asking them to seek out and deport violent criminals. These tactics are suitable for those kind of undocumented people.
Undocumented people that are attending school, working construction, restaurants, or whatever or other legit occupation do not need to be deported at all and certainly don't need to hunted down.
Undocumented people that aren't criminals still can get violent or run away. Plus bystanders are physically interfering.
Great, target the ones with criminal convictions and violent offenses first, then move from there.
Similar to arrest warrants. A dude with unpaid traffic tickets doesn't need to be hunted down. A dude that caught with a kilo of cocaine does. A dude that jaywalked doesn't even need to be apprehended.
But there are 1.4 million people in the country with an existing final deportation order. That means they got full due process with appeals and a judge ordered them deported.
