\n\n“The horse patrols aren’t the point.<\/strong> Democrats promised a different sort of immigration policy than what former President Donald Trump offered. But with a few tweaks around the margins, the Biden administration has continued<\/a>\u2014or even expanded<\/a>\u2014its predecessor’s policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets away with this in part because of symbiotic bullshitting between the Biden administration and the people opposed to it. The latter really want their base to think that Democrats are ushering in “open borders”<\/a> and an influx of scary criminal immigrants, so they rant and rave<\/a> as if President Joe Biden isn’t just largely continuing Trump policies. And since Democrats don’t want to seem like Trump 2.0 on immigration, both teams of bullshit artistry benefit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The administration’s tone-deaf response? To announce that border patrol agents would stop riding horses, for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have ceased the use of the horse patrol in Del Rio temporarily,” a Department of Homeland Security official told<\/a> reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 They’ll still be capturing and sending home asylum seekers on sight. In fact, they’ll be doing more of it. But by foot! Or by truck! Not on a horse! Doesn’t that make you feel better about our government rounding up migrants, chaining them<\/a>, and shipping them back to their countries of origin without so much as a chance to plead their case for a better life here?”
