      From another article

      In the Oval Office on Thursday, Biden made clear that he was moving forward with wall construction grudgingly, in order to comply with funds appropriated by Congress in 2019. He said he had tried and failed to get Congress to redirect the funding it had allocated for wall construction in south Texas. “The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that,” he said.

      The reality is you have to have a border even if you’re a Democrat you have to admit that.

      Edit: I Hate fucking Trump With a white hot passion, but nonetheless, if illegal immigration hadn’t subsided, we wouldn’t be seeing the Unions making the progress that they have.

      Now don’t get me wrong. Most of the reduced inflows are because Mexicans have chosen not to come here, not because the borders have been closed.

      Either way, it has been good for American wages.

        Ah yes, Unions were just waiting for border security to become established prior to organizing efforts. That makes total sense.

          If you start a Union and they can just close and move to a place with excess labor pushing down wages it makes sense to think twice.

            They can do that with or without border security.

        Right, it’s the people looking to survive who are to blame, not the capitalists and politicians that enable them, who exploit them for starvation wage so that you can be paid the bare legal minimum and not only be grateful, but wilfully ignorant and spiteful enough to blame those worse off than you instead of those actually responsible.

        Racist clown.
