What a shitty situation we’re in where this is ‘good’ news. 70%+ of Americans have forgotten what’s inscribed on Lady Liberty’s base. Give me your tired, your poor…
Any other situation, I would say that this is terrible news. Our immigration system is fucking broken, and if putting extra weight on the break makes it more noticeable, than put the fucking weight on it. Not to mention the moral duty to provide refuge for those fleeing any kind of circumstance.
But we’re also staring down a double-barrel shotgun of fucking fascism at the moment, so the opinions of our 70% of ‘very concerned individuals’ have to fucking matter in policy choices.
