President Biden on Wednesday shielded thousands of Palestinians in the United States from deportation for the next 18 months, using an obscure immigration authority as he faces mounting criticism over U.S. support for Israel in the Gaza war.
About 6,000 Palestinians are eligible for the reprieve under a program called Deferred Enforced Departure, which allows immigrants whose homelands are in crisis to remain in the United States and work legally.
In a memo obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Biden said that “many civilians remain in danger” in Gaza after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.
“Therefore, I am directing the deferral of removal of certain Palestinians who are present in the United States,” he said.
Only to court the radical right on the Ukraine package
So now the dems endorse the radical rights position on the border. You don’t see how that’s an issue?
You don’t see how your deliberate hyperbole isn’t contributing to the discussion?
Explain to me how what I said is hyperbole, and not facts. Please.
Equating “letting the opposition party fuck themselves as they try to pass a bill THEY don’t even want” to actively endorsing extreme policy is hyperbole.
At a very surface level you’re correct, but using that to state that the entire democratic party has abandoned their morals is absurd.
I disagree. This is how you shift further in your 2 right of center parties. Good luck with that if you think this is sane policy.
You’re correct, and I agree. It does shift dems to the right slightly. But again, it’s hyperbole to say dems are now “radical” on the border, which is what I was responding to.
I get what you mean now, it’s still an awful look and I’m sure the republicans will be more than happy to use the ammunition.
