I find it interesting that those single issue voters who care about “the border” only really care about the southern border, even though the drugs they want to stop are smuggled in from the east and west coast and the bad people they want to keep out are coming across via airplane.
what I’m saying is that these people should want the canadian border, all international airports, and coastal ports of entry as militarized as the southern border but they don’t say shit about the others.
There aren’t hundreds of thousands of migrants a month coming over the Canadian border. It is, in and of itself, a legit bipartisan concern.
The issue I have is the narrative and fear mongering dividing us and preventing our politicians from accomplishing anything. Having just searched on the issue for a mere ten minutes, it’s clear that politicians and news organizations are using a variety of numbers to prover their side of the story (how a news outlet can have a side is still something that makes me fume). There’s numbers related to “crossings”, “apprehensions”, “migrants”, “asylum seekers”, “detentions”, and “deportations” that can all be used or ignored to prove one or the other side is more strict or lenient regarding the southern border. Even the historically neutral organizations I found in my quick search focused on one issue at a time making the entire story unclear.
No one’s actually trying to help anyone here. The human race is doomed.
