Original question ------ Will these be as controversial or divisive as his predecessor's were?
I'm assuming not because the predecessor's orders were based in pandering to a narrow base with low hanging fruit red meat while these orders seem to come from a place of genuine sincerity to help a struggling nation at the moment.
Republican Propaganda outlets are going to create controversies about owning an smart exercise bike. Of course any of these Executive Orders will be controversial. Even the action of issuing an Executive Order will be label as "TYRANNY" by Republicans. The thing is people do not care about what Republicans and their QAnon nutcase base find controversial anymore. They have no credibility anymore, and the faux outrage will be laughable. The controversy that matters is from the Left honestly. Are any of these Executive Orders abandoning Progressive Principles??? No, not in my opinion but I think you'll hear Progressives say that he shouldn't just be pausing Student Loan Debt, and he should be wiping it out which would make some of the few more moderate Republicans he needs votes from in the Senate to lose their minds, and make it harder to get their votes on other things.
The only one I have a problem with the immigration enforcement. If you're here illegally you should be sent packing. Amnesty for illegals will just bring more of them the same way Reagan's amnesty did.
It's crude oil. I can understand still desiring to expand natural gas pipelines as natural gas is still a relatively clean alternative for energy until we have sufficient battery storage solutions for renewables but crude oil infrastructure expansion? Yuck.
The one thing though that I will say about the Wall EO is that he'll probably have to restart the construction back up soon though just simply to evaluate a stopping point for the construction. It might be more expensive in the long run to deal with dismantling a have assembled portion, or it could render useless if it's not taken to an area with a natural or city barrier point. I assume the EO is just a pause so they can review the project plans, and adjust from there though. Biden probably thinks the same, but it's just low low priority right this second with a raging pandemic. He just might not want to wait 8 months where it could really make the clean up worse than finishing a section of fencing.
Does that apply to people who are considered "dreamers", people who were brought here illegally at a young age where they had no power to chose to be bought here and then proceeded to carve out a life here where everything they know is within the United States? If so, I think that's inhumane and immoral.
699,350 In August 2018, USCIS estimated there were 699,350 active DACA recipients residing in the United States. Immigration researchers estimate the population to be between 690,000 and 800,000 people.
I'm not interested in any legislation that rewards illegal immigration whether it's parents sneaking across to have children here or just sneaking across with their children because they know there's a precedent that will reward them for breaking the law. Certainly on the US side, I think all those people and companies that hire illegals should get fines and jail time. Illegal immigration is easy to fix, the people in office just have no interest in really doing it.
Okay but what are your thoughts on those people I refered to? You think it's humane to just drop them off in a country they don't know at all leaving the only life they knew behind?
It's a shitty situation to be sure. You put the blame on the United States for incentivizing illegal immigration and setting a precedent in the amnesty of the 80's that gave the nod to these people to continue coming into the country and then the parents also share blame for putting their children in a precarious situation where they constantly have to be looking over their shoulder. I understand the hardship, I want to end it though not perpetuate it with another generation of kids being brought into the country to deal with this issue again in 30 years.
