Honestly I thought Biden would get them out of cages too because it seems like such an asy political win. I dislike Biden and I expected him to be bad on immigration but he is infinitely worse than I expected

Lolololol Joe Biden is going to send asylum seekers to fucking Gitmo. Amazing.
Also, Kamala may be deeply troubled, but Psaki is out there holding the line

My roommate’s significant other practices immigration law for legal services. She’s Colombian, so she might have some additional insights. I’ll reach out and see if I can get you some useful info

So the Del Rio camp is apparently cleared out. I think I just heard that out of about 14000 migrants, maybe 2000 were deported back to Haiti while 12000 were allowed into the US to pursue their asylum claims.
Presumably many or even most of these migrants will also eventually be removed but this still seems like a better outcome than many including me were expecting a couple of weeks ago.
The administration seems willing to pretend that they cleared the camp by deporting everybody. I guess it’s a calculated strategy.
Democrats have a storied tradition of doing a watered down version of whatever horrific thing Republicans want. Can’t stop now!

Oh they only deported 2k people
Google translation of a report about migrants crossing the Darien gap. Worth a read in my opinion.
A reasonable idea being floated:
Fire up the outrage machine! Sample GOP response:

Tucker Carlson:
Why pay your taxes at this point? Seriously, it’s too insulting. It’s too destructive. It is evil…
Well, we can be certain how the rest of the world is going to see this announcement. Why wouldn’t you cross our border illegally at this point, you have to be insane not to. Joe Biden is literally paying people who do it. So, not surprisingly, as Fox’s Griff Jenkins just reported, new waves of illegal migrants are coming here as fast as they can.
I mean, it’s all very predictable, but the lying, misleading, and utter shamelessness is sometimes breathtaking. As is the speed at which these talking points can be mobilized and spread.

Republican Twitter is having a thermonuclear meltdown over this.
I excluded a prominent Pence tweet (“The Biden policy of giving illegal immigrants $450K each is totally unacceptable.”) solely because it includes a video of his giant ugly head.
Is the fly in it though? I could be convinced to watch to see how it’s doing.
That fly is as dead as a Trump brain cell. If it has living descendants they are between 13 and 26 generations removed from the fly that laid claim to Pence’s head so long ago.

Hopefully it’s not too distracting that this one case is particularly ridiculous. The police/BP/ICE/etc lying here is certainly totally standard. There are thousands and thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of these lies every year.
Second comment on that tweet
