    It’s more of a 180 on rhetoric than action. Obummer was vicious to migrants, trying to win over the gop by displays of brutality. Or it was just Obama being Obama, i don’t really have a good grasp of how self aware the man is or what his actual political goals ever were.

      It’s the same as with drone murders, we’ve seen a constant march towards more and more all-out barbarism over the last two decades and it’s carried by an unquestionable bipartisan consensus. Exterminatory anti-immigration policy is now shaping up to develop in the same way, both in the US and the EU. Liberal policymakers know what kind of migration climate change will inevitably lead to in the next decades, and because they also know they won’t do anything about the climate, that means they have completely fallen in line with the fascists on causing mass death at the borders.
