I'm not up to speed with the whole border policy thing aside from knowing that kids are still in cages, which is pretty much all I need to know

having said that, isn't this essentially just immediately accepting defeat to the republicans before the conflict even starts? isn't this sternly-worded statement just "okay okay, I'll do what you want, happy now?", or am I reading it wrong?

Figure it out. They never wanted different things.

100-com stalin-point you've got it. Its just been an empty stunt the whole time

I mean he was sort of doing what they want anyway before this all started is my understanding. The whole conflict was all pretty vibes based, Biden has continued Trump's policies at the border. So he'd probably be doing what they want anyway at the border

Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden's offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.
