Ahh ok, starting to make sense Saully, But this part Flabert
“All governments since have tried to manage this task as they could but the surge in unaccompanied minor migrants in Obama’s mandate made it necessary to build “facilities” - temporarily called cages by some during Trump’s term.“
Was it a surge of just unaccompanied minor migrants or just an overall surge in migrants altogether that resulted in the building of the cages.
To me, the whole “who built the cages” battle cry never made sense, and it does a bit now i guess after the last two posts. But don’t think it’s appropriate. it never made sense before because to me, sure, u wanna keep out freeloaders, fair enough. That’s pretty much to put it bluntly the MAGAstani mentality of securing the border. Not saying anything wrong with that, why should US citizens pay for migrants when they have roads to build, veterans to take care of, maybe invest in their own public health care to fight a pandemic. Makes sense, plus Mexico should be taking a bigger role in helping out. Totally get that, really do.
However, the zero tolerance policy’s implementation of family separation took it to another level. I can’t really credit that with Trump as I find it hard to believe him conceptualizing any specifics for anything, but more a brainchild of his underling Steve Miller

I’m not really supportive of Biden’s immigration policy either. Complete opposite end of spectrum as Millers
Gotta find a middle ground
It’s interesting cause a lot of the Eastern European countries went through this with migrants from Middle East, afghan countries. Many countries like KSA and UaE with all their billions of dollars were turning a blind eye to this group of migrants. The whole America 1st slogan just comes off as bullshit to me as Kushner is up MBS’s asshole. It’s ok for MBS and UAE to turn a blind eye but Mexico had to build USA a wall? It just seems like Trumpy knows what he needs to say to garner the base and that’s “build the wall, make Mexico pay for it”, Obama was born in Kenya, stuff like that.
You never heard congressmen members walking out of an Oval Office meeting saying Obama or Clinton referred to countries as “shithole” Countries
