Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

He's right. Biden is supposed to enforce the law. The US government isn't functioning as intended. Congress spends their time crying about the poor immigrants ignoring they have the power to reform immigration laws. Biden acts like it's his job to selectively enforce the law and ignore laws that were actually created by Congress. It's ridiculous. The only response anyone has to this obvious truth is "but the republicans won't let us change the laws!!!" Yeah, so what? The left is just embracing lawlessness and ignoring that a large portion of the country has no interest in allowing illegal immigration. They're basically throwing a tantrum that they can't get enough control of Congress to pass sweeping immigration reform but we also know that even when they do have total control and could pass such legislation they wouldn't do it. They've had a super majority and did nothing with it to deliver any of the promises their politicians make. It's pretty obvious the only thing anyone is trying to achieve here is to keep the slave labor pipeline open for corporations. None of these politicians care about "muh migrants."
"but what about republicans on the right!"
There are no winners. Anyone who identifies with the left or right political parties is a literal moron. There is no "norm" around unchecked historic levels of ILLEGAL immigration into America. The idea that you would even try to say it's totally normal for a President to abdicate from securing the border and then sue anyone who tries to resist a literal tidal wave of illegal immigrants from as far away as China is ridiculous. Abbott is in the right to try to secure the border, Biden, Democrats, the left, everyone else needs to figure it out. Having a secure border is important even Obama can tell you that he was a big proponent of border security and his kept illegal immigration at similarly low levels to Trump. It was only when the left tried to use illegal immigration to brand Trump a racist and invite everyone in saying "no one is illegal" that we've seen this out of control historic levels of illegal immigration.
