OK, so Biden made things better across the board. he could have made some things even more better, but wasn’t able to. and he at least didn’t make anything worse.

is that an accurate summary of what you’re claiming?

Mostly. I wouldn’t agree with “he didn’t make anything worse,” because US immigration post-2001 is a terrifying hell run by horrible people, and it would be hard for anyone to lay hands on it in any way without making something worse in the process. But yes, aside from that, it’s accurate.

because if so, we need to get back to those details you claimed I don’t care about. the ones you’ve never actually responded to on their substance:

Because I’m not interested. I already laid out what I thought about this: Looking at the whole of his impact on immigration is a way better way to analyze his overall impact on immigration than extensive Lemmy bickering, and I think you’re focusing in on details as a way to distract from the idea of looking at the overall.

because if you actually read what I said, notice I phrased it as “you seem to be arguing”. that was intentional. I’m listening to what you’re saying, and trying to tell you “here’s what your argument is coming across as” because I do actually care whether I’m understanding you correctly or not.

Okay, fair enough. That previous paragraph is what I’m saying.
