The epitome of unhinged. Spitefully unhinged.

“Some things may be true, even if Donald Trump said them.”
That was the epiphany that ABC’s Jonathan Karl had over the weekend. It’s a difficult concept for the news media, and the Biden administration is having an even harder time grasping its corollary: Some policies are humane and necessary, even if former President Donald Trump implemented them.
President Joe Biden is now rejecting sensible border policies that aid refugees, help our border guards do their job, and dissuade Central American families from making terribly dangerous and costly treks across Mexico, apparently all because Trump was the one who implemented them.
On his first full day in office, Biden suspended the “Remain in Mexico” policy to dissuade families from trekking to our border with frivolous asylum claims. On June 2, Biden repealed the policy.
Supportive media called Biden’s “the latest in a series of moves to dismantle the Trump administration's restrictive immigration policies.”
House Democrats Bennie Thompson and Nanette Diaz Barragán called it “the Trump administration’s reprehensible ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, which forced migrants to wait in inhumane conditions indefinitely before being allowed to come to the U.S.”
But if you can abstract away from Trump’s role and look at the policy on its own merits, you see something quite different. The “Remain in Mexico” policy didn’t mostly result in migrants remaining near Mexico’s border with the United States awaiting asylum hearings in the country. It primarily resulted in migrants never making the perilous journey across Mexico, putting their own and their children's lives in danger.
