The move, expected on Tuesday, would allow the president to temporarily seal the border and suspend longtime protections for asylum seekers in the United States.

:brump:

President Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday allowing him to temporarily seal the U.S. border with Mexico to migrants when crossings surge, a move that would suspend longtime protections for asylum seekers in the United States.

. . .

The order would represent the single most restrictive border policy instituted by Mr. Biden, or any modern Democrat, and echoes a 2018 effort by President Donald J. Trump to block migration that was assailed by Democrats and blocked by federal courts.

    Setting the US up for receiving an influx of white European immigrants over the next two decades, who will be replacing the non-white immigrants that have been the backbone of US economy for decades.

    That is a massive copeium dream not even MAGA believes that, if anyone actualy thinks massive amounts of French/German/Italians are going to cross the Atlantic just to work in a Mcdonalds for not even $15 an hour.

    We need to wait for WW3 and complete actual massive death and destruction of European cities for this to be even remotely feasible.

    But even if you disregard all of that, in 20 years time climate change will sink Florida and make most of the USian south a massive shithole. The current “liberal” paradise of NW/NE will have to deal with their own internal migration problems. I foresee chuds trying to raid and kill liberals well before Americans being open to such a massive immigration, even if white Europeans, they tend to be technically quite a bit more liberal than Americans liberals even.

    Again chuds would rather kill white liberals than work with them. Of course when under threat liberals will always work with the fascists anyway, but it doesn’t mean there wont be conflicts.

    In 20 years I’d bet on EU’s internal migration issues(periphery towards the center/north) before anything else. Also its a given they’ll be genociding every African/ME migrant crossing the Mediterranean too. They’ll be busy closing their borders both ways.

      I don’t think you (and to be fair, quite a lot of people) are aware of the extent to which the European economy has been devastated since 2022. That was the whole point of starting a war in Ukraine.

      Just like in the early 20th century, it is only a matter of time before desperate people start to flee from economic despair, fascism and war and came all the way to America, risking and leaving everything behind with the hopes of starting a new life.

      America might be bad, but it would be even worse in Europe.

        The EU is definitely suffering but please remember that EU social democracy to the extent it still exists, far exceeds the working class privileges of the regular American. It would be a joke to even compare the two. To suggest Europeans are suddenly going to migrate to the US is to ignore American’s own cost of life crisis, don’t we get people constantly complaining about rent and stuff here on HB? Most are not European you know.

        Everything from healthcare, housing and education is still far far more expensive overall in the US than the major EU countries and again, while we can argue whether some German IT guy would work in California/Texas that IT guy is not ever going to be working in a McDonalds in Atlanta or Michigan unless Berlin is firebombed again.

        There is no disagreement that EU economy is not going well, but keeping perspective in mind we are talking about neoliberal mainstream economic terms most of the time, GDP stagnation doesn’t mean a G7 country is suddenly in the same material conditions as some African country overnight.
