NYT Discovers Trump Hates Immigrants, Only After Biden Does Too
The New York Times latest exposé—"Here’s How Trump Has Made it Harder for Migrants Seeking Asylum and Citizenship"—details Trump's efforts to restrict immigration (NY Times, 2025). What the paper fails to highlight is that President Biden has recently adopted significantly stringent border policies, essentially continuing and in some cases, expanding upon the previous administration's framework.
This historical amnesia ignores that the 2024 bipartisan border bill, supported by many Democrats, would have effectively ended asylum at the border under certain conditions. It appears that border cruelty only warrants front-page condemnation when the 'wrong' party is in power. The same policies, when implemented by Democrats, are framed as 'necessary reforms' or simply disappear from critical
view. How many "tough on immigration" stances does it take for the media to acknowledge a bipartisan consensus on human rights abuses at the border?
