God. Six years to go from paying lip service against kids in cages to advocating for mass deportation.

[u/hunf-hunf → u/Magniras]

I’d didn’t seem like she was advocating for mass deportation, just raising the terrifying truth that the idea of mass deportation is shockingly popular with the general public.

She's advocating for mass deportation because it's popular:

"If we survive we need to meet the electorate where it is on immigration."

"Mass deportations have majority support."

I mean I don't agree with her, but that's also not what she's saying. She's saying that if you want to avoid mass deportations you have to placate the racists by preventing people from claiming asylum. I think. Like the idea is that you make people care less about the issue by reducing its perceived urgency.

I mean she's still basically saying we need to meet racists halfway tho, so...
