House Progressives Rail Against Trump Immigration, Ignore Biden's Detainment Centers
The Hill reports on House progressives vocally condemning Trump's immigration agenda and calling for DHS reform. It's a noble cause, except for the glaring omission: the current administration's own record. While condemning Trump's 'cages,' the Biden administration expanded facilities for unaccompanied migrant children, holding thousands of minors in conditions that advocacy groups have deemed
concerning. One might think 'DHS reform' would apply to the present, not just the convenient past. This isn't about genuine progressive values; it's about political theater. They rail against Trump, but when it's their own party maintaining and even exacerbating aspects of the same brutal system, the critique conveniently softens. The outrage, like a finely tuned propaganda machine, ignites only
when the 'wrong' president is in office. Perhaps real reform would start with holding current leadership accountable, not just re-litigating old battles.
