    The Democratic party has adopted the majority of detestable border polices from Trump’s 2016 campaign.

    In 2016 there were appeals to voters to have compassion for the DACA cohort, but now the only discussion is about being tough on the border (and ignore human rights treaties about asylum claims at the same time).

    Admittedly, they didn’t engage in family separation or forced sterilization like the Trump administration, but they shifted hard right on immigration, like many other developed countries in the last few years.
