Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, "We Have to Deport People More Often and Faster."

Remember when immigration was going to save the west? Not enough kids, we need workers, etc etc.

I'm so sick of the hypocrisy and politics in general.

Everything is a lie, and then when we make progress, like on climate change, someone get elected and smashed it down for another 4 years.

Those in power who decide for mass immigration policies don't live in places that are affected by their decisions, they live in upper class gated communities with prices so high they're unaccessible to average people to move in, their kids don't go to those schools, etc. All luxury beliefs of idealists shielded from the real world.

Basically, it's easy to be charitable with other people's lives and money from your ivory tower.

At least the US got some good policies now but Germany is doubling down on more illegal immigration while ignoring the downsides.

This is why, as a generally pro-immigrant liberal (within reason), I support Greg Abbott busing them to liberal cities.

so in two words: Champagne socialists
