The Biden presidency is NOT holding up a welcome sign. They are holding the borders firmly. But they are attempting to do so in a manner that is both humane and respects the laws regarding the rights of refugees seeking asylum.
The “law and order” Qonservative bunch, that loves to bash police, kill them, and gouge out their eyes if they dare to protect the U.S. capitol, and foment violent riots, is the same disgusting bunch of hypocrites that disregards the law when it is applied to protect the rights of refugees seeking asylum.
Democrats do NOT support open borders.
In fact it is DEMOCRATS who have proposed real border reforms instead of ridiculous border walls that DO NOTHING.
Some specific proposals that Democrats passed when Trump was president, that were blocked by Republicans:
• addressing the CAUSES of illegal immigration at the source: U.S. actions in the 1980’s destabilized Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. Many coming here are indigenous Maya who do not want to leave their homes. Help re-stabilize what we broke and they won’t even want to come (Julián Castro’s “Marshall Plan” for Latin America)
• addressing electronic monitoring of tourists/students to deal with visa overstays
• electronic and high-tech border surveillance, including infrared, drones and other electronic monitoring that is far more effective than any wall
• increased inspections of vehicles and cargo shipment containers that enter LEGALLY at border checkpoints, where there is not enough equipment or workers to complete adequate inspections
• increased monitoring of entries through airports
Democratic proposals would address whatever legitimate issues actual exist today, which do NOT include border crossings on the southern border.
The cartoon is based on a LIE, plain and simple.
