Although my political stance is "No Pink Floyd without Syd Barratt", so #9 will be a challenge, even for Biden.

Such a surprise that I thought Batlord was joking ´til I looked at the wiki link.

Yes, exciting how quickly some things can change: the US is back in the Accords, back in the WHO , and Biden has blocked that controversial Keystone Pipeline too.

Yes, OH, as a tidy-minded guy I'd like to see statehood for DC, and I'd make Puerto Rico an enfranchised state too. If the Democrats did that, my guess is they'd pick up a few Puerto Rican votes at the next election.

They're not letting brown people into the country they can't deport.

It’s taken only days for Democrats gauging how far President Joe Biden’s bold immigration proposal can go in Congress to acknowledge that if anything emerges, it will likely be significantly more modest.

As they brace to tackle a politically flammable issue that’s resisted major congressional action since the 1980s, Democrats are using words like “aspirational” to describe Biden’s plan and “herculean” to express the effort they’ll need to prevail.

Goddamnit

Majority mfs

Already acting like ****ing simps

Why the **** is it “Herculean” not to be racist *******s

Cause letting millions of people in without knowing **** about them is a stupid idea no matter how you spin it, even if you think it'll add an extra 3 million voters to your bottom line come 2024. You've got like 30,000 people per employee as far as the current ratio goes - maybe they should bolster the department before arbitrarily changing multiple laws.

I support open borders but that’s not even what’s being proposed. It’s just a path to citizenship for people already here.

Your ratio doesn’t even work considering immigrants create jobs plus the “they’re taking “our’ jobs” is a tired racist trope that creates animosity instead of solidarity. Weak sauce capitalism. Ain’t buying it.

You either don't understand the immigration process or you just don't get the issue in a general sense. He's opening up another half dozen countries before the current backlog of people waiting has been cleared (or at least lessened). Which is why his first priority should be to staff up as to process people faster, not make the jobs of people currently there more difficult. What he's doing now is the equivalent of shoving an extra 30,000 people into an already extremely crowded airport without bringing on more people to check everybody's bags and go through the normal process.

For god’s sake those countries were blacklisted for no other reason than racist bull****.
