So glad we never closed it down. Add it to the pile of broken campaign promises

For the sake of argument let’s say that’s true. Who’s considering locking people up right now?

I’m getting tired of this “everything is the Democrats’ fault because they lost the election” theme right now. News flash: Trump is the one doing this because he’s the one in power right now.

when it comes to immigration: bush started it; obama followed; trump escalated it; and biden also followed.

the republicans start shit and democrats enable it (aka the ratchet effect).

you can get tired of it all you want and that's not going to change things; especially if you chose to ignore this fact like most americans do.

The Democrats are complicit. It's not just their fault, but they're driving the getaway car.
