“I think it’s so important to understand how immigration enforcement has been a pillar of the Democratic party’s governance for three decades,” activist and scholar of border imperialism Harsha Walia told Intercepted podcast in February 2021, when it was already becoming clear that Biden’s tenure would hardly see the undoing of the border regime.
Harsha Walia is a Canadian activist and writer based in Vancouver. She has been involved with No one is illegal, the February 14 Women’s Memorial March Committee, the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, and several Downtown Eastside housing justice coalitions. Walia has been active in immigration politics, Indigenous rights, feminist, anti-racist, anti-statist, and anti-capitalist movements for over a decade.
Walia is the author of Undoing Border Imperialism (2013) and Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (2021), co-author of Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration (2015), and Red Women Rising: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (2019). She has also contributed to over thirty academic journals, anthologies, magazines, and newspapers.
I feel this person knows what she is talking about.
Apologies, I am just very used to seeing knee-jerk reactions denying Biden’s culpability for his actions, and clearly I’ve developed some knee-jerk reactions of my own that I need to work on.

Really, they’re much more open to change than us stodgy Progressives are; they’ll literally change their basic morals in a matter of months! (White) Crime? No problem! Police? First they’re friends, then after J6 they’re fascists, then after the campus protests they’re friends again! If Jesus ever comes back (and they can’t kill him), they’ll change their tune on him as well!
Us damn LIbRuLs on the other hand are so stick-in-the-mud, we won’t even go along with one little genocide, even if our Boss says it’s necessary!
Yes, obviously they are not actually changing their actual view(s) at all; their only actual view is “what we do is right, what ‘others’ do is wrong”. That stays forever unchanged, it’s just their outward-facing rhetoric that changes.
The laws around felons and felonies is a whole 'nother discussion. It’s an arbitrary category that differs by state, and was only really created in order to give a veneer of legality for punishing certain groups more harshly. But yes, I’d vote for Debs in a heartbeat.
