minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoSorry, is “shares some concerns about the border” the same as “wanting to shut everything down and stop anyone from coming in?” And if shutting down the border is not what is being proposed, maybe Biden shouldn’t be pledging to shut down the border. We’re a country whose most famous symbol has a poem welcoming people seeking asylum at its base. The irony seems lost.
