    I fucking hate half-measures like this. Yeah, if you’re one of the 550,000 saved from deportation, or one of the few hundred thousand that got your college debt forgiven, I’m sure it feels great. What would be objectively better is to actually fix the problems requiring these patches. Biden’s made no progress on education cost reform, and has made negative progress on immigration reform, making these kinds of actions pure political theater.

      “No 100% effective solution, so we don’t want it!!!”

      It’s getting tiresome.

        This type of commentor probably doesn’t pick up a piece of trash from their bedroom floor because it doesn’t completely clean the whole room in one go.

      Biden doesn’t control immigration reform. That requires an act of Congress.

      POTUS can restrict entry or detain at the border, and determine criminal response of immigration violations. That’s it.

      You want more funding for immigration support? Me too. Vote in congressional elections.
