Fewer people are being deported now than during Biden's term (to the ire of Trump) so what are you basing this belief of her hypothetical actions on? Harris herself stated that she wanted to crack down on asylum seekers, increase the number of border patrol agents, and even warned migrants "not to come" to America while visiting Guatemala during her campaign.
You're ignoring reality in favor of an idealized image of what you think a Democrat would do. Even now, Democrats are helping Trump's agenda at every turn and yet you think they're our saviors despite the fact that they never follow through with any of their promises. It's quite ridiculous.
What separates you from a Republican who voted for Trump even though they "don't agree with everything he does?" That person sees Democrats in the same way you see Republicans, so what differentiates you? You all want things to be exactly as they are now as demonstrated by your unwillingness to change anything, and you are all responsible for it. Keep voting for evil and evil is what you get.
Source: trust me bro?
Meanwhile, in the real world, Trump is on his way to deporting long time residents at twice the rate of Biden. That's to say nothing of the aforementioned climate of fear causing people to flee the country, which is harder to quantify.
Keep on convincing yourself it's better to do nothing that to reduce harm. The greater of two evils will probably never get to you, so you can keep on voting self-righteously without a care for actual consequences.
It's also ignoring the concept that they're not actually interested in deporting everybody. Privately run immigration facilities are big business and big donors and they do well when they have inmates. To say nothing of the potential for involuntary labor from said inmates.
Literally this entire comment is pants on head backwards.
You can Google anything I mentioned if you want a source (if you actually care to learn what you're supporting). Presidential campaigns are highly publicized. Where's your source demonstrating that Harris would have treated them any better since you want to be a stickler? Let's see some concrete examples of action from her not just more empty words.
Why exclude everyone but long-term residents from the number of deportees? That sure seems like cherry-picked data. Do you feel that every deportee apart from that specific group is unworthy of concern? Can you explain why Biden didn't give them a path to citizenship so that they wouldn't forever be stuck in limbo and at the mercy of the political winds? Obama? Clinton? How about congressional Democrats in any of the dozens of congressional sessions during that time? Can you explain why these people have been treated as little more than a political football similar to abortion rights, the poor, wealth inequality, gun violence, and so much more? Why zero actual solutions have been implemented at any point in time? Why none of this is ever important outside of election season and quickly brushed to the side once they've secured victory?
You mean "doing nothing" like repeating the same failed action over and over, while telling yourself you're doing something good despite literally everything pointing to the contrary? You're not "reducing harm," you're prolonging torture.
Tell those long-term resident deportees that they shouldn't be fearful because you've reduced harm. Tell those Palestinian children getting blown to pieces daily for the last two years that you've reduced their harm. Tell those parents struggling between buying Christmas presents and keeping food on the table that their harm has been reduced.
Dont worry, if they dont respond positively to you, you can always fall back on calling them self-righteous and explaining to them why it's their fault that we're still continuing down the same exact path we've been on for decades because they didn't vote hard enough for the very same people that have been leading us this whole time. Explain how you're nudging these leaders in the right direction by giving them your unwavering support every election despite them producing zero results every single time. Explain how you call these leaders 'evil' "but it's totally cool and they deserve your support because they're lesser evil."
Once you're done with that, you can then explain the end-game for the master plan. That point where you've supported the lesser evil so much that it turns good, the greater evil vanishes, and all our problems wither away. Maybe you can share that scenario with the rest of us while you're at it.
Cool, cool, cool, so u got any answers or u just here to start shit?
Yeah stop supporting both of these shit parties that we all unquestionably refer to as evil and support literally anything else. That should be a good start.
