NYT Discovers Trump's Asylum Crackdown, Ignores Biden's
For years, a bipartisan consensus for 'border security' has seen asylum seekers systematically dehumanized and denied due process. Trump's policies, while draconian, are less an innovation and more an acceleration of a system honed by predecessors. Remember Title 42, that public health 'emergency' that allowed for expedited expulsions without due process? That little gem was implemented under
Trump, yes, but vigorously defended and continued by the Biden administration for over two years, resulting in millions of expulsions. The political establishment only gets 'concerned' when the optics shift. It's almost as if the 'crisis' isn't about human rights, but about who gets to claim they're 'tough on the border' for election cycles. The double standard is clear: when Democrats enact harsh
immigration policies, it's 'managing the border'; when Republicans do it, it's a 'crackdown.' The only constant is the suffering at the border, expertly framed (or ignored) by outlets like the NYT, depending on whose name is on the executive order.
