Reminder: The problem isn’t vetting. The problem is numbers. You want to be a black laborer trying to earn a living when they (hypothetically) admit 5 million impoverished foreign workers into your labor market? Does everyone who works make enough to live with dignity or not? https://t.co/r0FcQZnWBa

PS: How did Trump & Republicans get hung up on the issue of whether Harris was “border czar”? I v-much doubt Harris was in charge of Biden border policy–they’d never entrust it to her. But she supported it, Dems supported and she gives no indication she’d actually be different.

Run an election that’s “a referendum on Democrats’ open border policies.” How hard is that to do?

Yes, the media won’t want you to get this message out. That’s the challenge. But it doesn’t seem complicated.
