Trump lied and Biden got tongue tied at the first debate. So why is the world only focusing on one?

I mean I keep seeing articles of people being murdered by illegal immigrants, is it pure scare mongering?
And I’m really quite surprised I’d be upvoted by this as anyone that enjoys freedom and a good quality of life should really understand what’s going on
Yes
Yes it is pure scare mongering, that is how most media makes money. You are more likely to be murdered by your parents than an immigrant. What do you mean by "what's going on?" I enjoy freedom and good quality of life, which is why I think borders shouldn't exist.
What’s going on? You have open borders, completely open, border control is a formality for the airports. Anyone from any motivation can walk into the states freely unchecked, unquestioned, unchallenged, for free; undocumented… since Biden laxed the laws dramatically… and on top, taxpayer money is being spent supporting these immigrants. Truly truly mind boggling stuff.
I’ve literally watched live streams of the endless flood coming across.
America is under attack by its own government policy, it’s like you’ve fought wars before but never such an internal war.
It’s the woke mind virus, it’s a cancer of the mind… it’s so sad to watch unfold
It is one of America's ideals to help people everywhere find a better life and live the 'American dream.' You don't support this patriotic ideal? Thousands of refugees from the endless global wars that the US helps initiate come to our borders to find salvation. I gladly pay taxes to help needy immigrants because that is supposedly one of the foundational elements of 'America'.
But we are ruled by the wealthy who trick average people to be mad at immigrants instead of wage theft, wealth redistribution, unchecked global atrocities and war crimes done in the name profit, Raytheon et al and the military-industrial complex. I have been to the border, my friends and family have a lot of experience in border towns and there is no dangerous immigrant invasion going on like portrayed by the media. And what open borders? Biden has deported more people than Trump.
I have such a strong disagreement on the idea of Biden being better with illegal immigration than trump that I’m convinced you’re a Russian bot intended to post pro Biden rhetoric as he’s done more damage to America than any nuke could ever achieve
It's not an 'idea', there is hard data showing the numbers of people deported. Trump hates immigrants too though, I'm not saying either one is better or worse on immigration. How am I intending to post pro-Biden rhetoric? Biden is a genociding racist that should be charged with war crimes.
I’ll upvote just so I can understand what is going on?
Mods, I’m not trolling. I’d really like to help this person.
