The Real ‘Border Czar’ Defends the Biden-Harris Record

This was so enlightening. I kept thinking just much the narrative around immigration has been watered and dumbed down in our culture. It makes it easier to fit ones approach into simple slogans and "solutions" that doesn't actually help the system. I also don't know how we distill more complexity into our culture of sound bites, memes, and emotional bait. Or to foster the patience needed for large systems to reset after implementing shifts.

[@nossenkanter]

It's called propaganda to justify something that has no happened in hundreds of years of American history 🤡 Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump did not allow this extreme amount of illegal immigration.

[@servandopatlan6150]

Thank you for intelligent reasoned education on this important issur. You all forgot to contrast the declining USA birthrate. When your kids do not bring children, we need immigration.

“Mass Due Process" not “Mass Deportation"

[@doricetimko5403]

Perfect!

[@tbone8636]

Another tag line that sounds deep, but upon closer inspection is revealed to be completely shallow. We already have due process in this country... What would you suggest we do with people who enter the country illegally? Nothing?

[@russelnw4530]

@@tbone8636 what is described here is an effort to increase the capacity to address asylum claims. If the backlog is multiple years, the answer is to break the bottleneck in judicial review. Mass due process isn’t shallow. It means we have e to have the capacity to deal with all claims, legitimate or illegitimate. The result may well be deportation. In fact if the numbers he quotes hold true, it could be 75% of applicants are deported. But “Mass Due Process” means everyone quickly gets their day in court (or in administrative review.). We can hold onto our constitutional principles, treat people with dignity and resoect, but do it expeditiously.

[@rabbit22255]

@@debbywaldron6664 I mean this with no offense, you clearly don’t understand that not everything is as complicated as people make it out to be. “The simplest answer is often the correct answer.” Immigration does not replace declining birth rates, we need higher birth rates because relying on immigration is going to make the same problem happen again in the future because once those immigrants get settled here what are they going to do? The same as the rest of the people on average! You people are seriously foolish if you think this dingus is actually the border czar, why would he wait this long to come out and explain this? And if that’s so, why was Kamala Harris literally appointed to be “in charge of the border” by Joe Biden! Even if this is the “real border czar”, the situation at the border is so horrendous that Kamala Harris is actually pretending to be hard on the border! Literal clown world!

If Mayorkas had anything of value to contribute in regards to securing the border and immigration he would've shared it years ago.

[@jeffreyvollmer5417]

This is the first time I’ve listened to Mayorkas speak at any length in a press interview. My God!!! He speaks in such a convoluted way with such slow cadence. Why would anyone want to listen to him? Pete Buttigieg needs to inservice his Cabinet colleagues on how to speak in public interviews. This Mayokas guy may be more than competent and up to the job, but he is a deadly snoozer of a speaker.

[@raincadeify]

I don't mind the pace, but the how carefully crafts his language with passive voice and generalities that could leave one with the impression our current border policy is a migrant support system. Kinda of fascinating. I appreciate that Ezra was on it and pulled him back to focus on what's actually happening. I'm halfway through and very curious if the subject of US "intervention" in the southern hemisphere will be laid out.

[@HZ-fg9sf]

I just listen to it on 1.25 speed at least. I think he talks like that intentionally because he is being careful with his words. You can see where he doesn't directly answer the question. But the guy has a tough job.

[@swansuz]

That would seem to reflect your listening skills rather than his speaking skills. Deliberate, thoughtful and articulate are far superior to rapid fire spin. He does his job in presenting complicated, high profile material responsibly and with authority. I say (based on 40 years teaching university public speaking) "well done."

[@oldasrocks9121]

He crafts his language like a very skilled and immensely talented prosecutor. Pull the wool out of your spoiled earholes

What a shame that most Americans will never understand this issue or how fortunate that Mayorkas was in this position.

[@topcat999]

his questions sound misinformed/not researched

[@muay_khao]

Big opportunity here for government to do some good. Survey employers from the Springfield-like communities of the country, find out who needs a few good employees, then back at the border, if you're going to admit these people anyway, send a manageable number spread out across the country, with the job lead in hand, and the employers ready to receive them. Don't allow 20,000 to one place. Instead, send 500 spread amongst 40 Springfields. Put stipulations on their border entry that they must go where they're setup to be received.

*The city REP from Denver, told a group, that NY city and *Chicago gave out better benefits,then Denver did!* That doesn't sound very compassionate for a sanctuary city*

[@susanlippy1009]

This ignores the reason that groups settle together in the first place. They like us want to live in community. Settling together gives them support of community. Allows extended families to stay together and makes it feasible to have religious and traditional practices maintained. Their children get to look out into the community and see others who look like them instead of being alone. Could you imagine being dropped off someplace you don't speak the language, you don't know the culture and you are the outsider. They succeed because of the communities they build together.

[@muay_khao]

​@@susanlippy1009 it doesn't ignore it, it's just how it needs to be. Many examples of mass migration to one place not being good.

Ezra I appreciate your attempt to get to the bottom off this issue but i am afraid you failed. This guy did not speak one thing worth remembering, he avoided, he obfuscated he distracted but he never never told the truth. I just don't think the truth is something he deals with on a daily basis. My god I about crashed my bike twice.
