They didn't used to be this way, for some reason under Biden they went super anti-immigration

What a load of shit. What time period are you referring to when you believed Democrats were pro-immigrant? Let’s factcheck that shit.

Even Obama deported way more people than Trump, built the immigrant cages, and vastly expanded ICE. Clinton was equally anti-immigrant.

Off the top of my head there is DACA and DAPA. Clinton ran on closing private immigration detention centers.

And Obama ran on closing gitmo. What they run on doesn’t fucking matter. It matters what they do.

I recall Obama signing an executive order first thing when he was elected. Congress overrode it.

"For some reason."

Because when migrants did land on their doorsteps they went, "oh fucking hell no" and DNC knew the jig was up. If they had any semblance of control in the places they are elected they would have easily handled a bus or plane load of migrants. Except the fact they don't weild any power, only channel it for corporate interests, they don't have the tools to fight off attacks like these.
