I love how liberals did such a 180 on immigration once Biden was the figurehead overseeing it, instead of Trump "What? It's not 2018, we are not pretending to care about asylum seekers anymore." or "What, no the border wall was fascist when Trump was building it, now that Biden is building it, it is good and liberal. We need to keep our borders safe. We are not loony leftists that just want open borders and anarchy."
It's more of a 180 on rhetoric than action. Obummer was vicious to migrants, trying to win over the gop by displays of brutality. Or it was just Obama being Obama, i don't really have a good grasp of how self aware the man is or what his actual political goals ever were.
It's the same as with drone murders, we've seen a constant march towards more and more all-out barbarism over the last two decades and it's carried by an unquestionable bipartisan consensus. Exterminatory anti-immigration policy is now shaping up to develop in the same way, both in the US and the EU. Liberal policymakers know what kind of migration climate change will inevitably lead to in the next decades, and because they also know they won't do anything about the climate, that means they have completely fallen in line with the fascists on causing mass death at the borders.
that asian dub foundation song is getting more and more accurate...
Whoa, I honestly had no idea what the lyrics to Fortress Europe were beyond, "Keeping banging on the walls...of FOR-TRESS EUROPE!" because that's probably all I could make out while playing Need for Speed: Underground as a kid.
yeah, song's from 2003 but it could be from pretty much any time...
to leave a legacy of civility and eruditeness.

I have said many times: the war in Ukraine has completely changed the immigration policy of the US.
By destroying Europe, Biden has achieved the white supremacist dream of a Fourth Reich that the Republicans could never do in decades.
The US is a country of immigrants and it will always be so. They are now setting the country up to receive an influx of (mostly) white Europeans over the next couple decades as people flee from rise of far right regimes and economic devastation, much like the early 20th century.
You know the right wing conspiracy about the “Great Replacement”? That might as well be real with what’s going on in the world right now, except it’s Europeans fleeing from a destabilizing region.
