No borders? Guys the Dems aren't that left
Also, don’t the Dems want to let girls NOT have balls? Its the Republicans who get grumpy when Trans women get gender affirming surgery.
Obama doubled the amount of border patrol agents. Which seems like a much better use of money than a wall, at least according to… the border patrol.
*The amount of border patrol doubled while Obama was in office. It might seem pedantic but it is not. Anything like this requires Congress to approve the budgetary increase which means it happened because of multiple parties not just the White House.
Under his lead. You are being pedantic. It was part of his states goals and platform. And his party overwhelmingly voted for it.
Traditionally border patrol pushes have been failures, they get more staff but generally super underqualified and often times cartel linked. Yes it's a better use of money but training the ones we have to actually be effective is better use.
My point is more that you cannot say it is because of Obama when Congress has to sign off on it as well. It's like blaming Reagan for the tax cuts of the 80's when the Democrats controlled Congress and passed those bills.
Pretty sure that's the joke - if only the dems were as progressive as the cons make them out to be...
(that' how I took it anyway)
