      Unsure if it’s true, but Biden and Obama did crack down on immigration, partly because they were trying to appease Republican voters.

      It’s why Trump doesn’t have actual criminals to deport and is raiding home depot and Mexican restaurants to round up working-class brown people.

      Enforcing immigration law is largely popular. The Democrats think some laws need to change to make the laws more reasonable first. (DREAM etc.) The Republicans are shooting people in the back for protesting them shooting other people in the back. The Republicans are interfering with people doing their best to follow the legal process.

      Some people will tell you this means both sides are the same.
