Greg Sargent: Let's not overlook the vile smears that Fox News/MAGA are pushing about Biden's new policy on undocumented spouses of US citizens. Fox/MAGA are linking it to the awful murder of a young Maryland woman, allegedly by a migrant. That's repulsive. 1/ (new piece from me) newrepublic.com/article/1828...

Fox News’s Ugly Eruption Over Biden Immigration Move Has a Hidden Tellnewrepublic.com Biden’s new executive action is actually about people who live and have roots here. Right-wingers know they can’t win if the debate is about these folks—so they scream “border!”

There's a key tell in the Fox/MAGA attacks on Biden's policy: They all try to change the subject back to *the border.* That's odd, because this policy is all about immigrants who have lived here for a decade or more. I've collected some of these attacks below. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

This is ugly stuff. Fox/MAGA personalities are linking Biden's policy to a horrific murder. RNC says the killing was done by a "BIDEN ILLEGAL." Fox is juxtaposing the new policy with footage of hordes swarming the border and even migrant mug shots. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

It's a disgusting smear. This policy will benefit 500,000 people who have lived in the US for at least a decade, are married to Americans, have deep roots in communities across the country, and in many cases are *raising American children.* 4/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

Republicans are blasting the policy as an abuse of power. But the undocumented spouses of US citizens are already allowed to apply for green cards. Biden's move just allows them to remain here while they access that process, rather than leave the country first. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

Other Rs are arguing that the policy will encourage more illegal border crossing. But Biden's executive action only applies to people who have *already* been here for 10 years as of mid-June! Check out one expert's quote on this below. It's a keeper. 6/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

MAGA is screaming "abuse of power!" But Congress gave the executive the discretion to grant parole for "urgent humanitarian reasons" or "significant public benefit." That clearly applies here. If you want the details on this, I've got you covered. 7/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...

I suspect Tom Cotton voted against adding more border patrol agents. He and Fox News only see the border as something they can demagogue about. "Border Patrol union supports bipartisan deal yet House GOP dismisses it" youtu.be/WHDg5qX3Lwc?...

Ed Koch made New York City a sanctuary city in 1989. Rupert Murdoch put the HQ of Fox News in this sanctuary city in 1996 because NYC is a great city. If undocumented immigrants were so dangerous, then Trump wouldn't have had one making his bed when he was president. www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/u...

Making President Trump’s Bed: A Housekeeper Without Papers (Published 2018)www.nytimes.com At the president’s New Jersey golf course, an undocumented immigrant has worked as a maid since 2013. She said she never imagined she “would see such important people close up.”

Ugly but not surprising at all. And what is the Dem response? Who is out there calling them out for this kind of vitriol? Nobody. A meek “this is very dangerous talk”. So fucking lame at messaging and counter-messaging.

Fuxed up news gives you Fuxed up BS. 🤭

Perhaps instead of trying to appease these people Biden should have been attacking the premise from the start

They've been doing this for months. Everytime some sort of murder might be linked to a migrant, LoTT et al has been blasting it calling Biden a murderer.

Trump said no to this (Fox supports Trump 100%). Biden (January 2024): "... provide the funding I requested in October to secure the border. This includes an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers, ...", www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Yesterday I finally muted "a friend" who would not shut up about the "boarder" other nonsense that obviously came from Faux News.

When should we expect this policy to get sent up to the fifth circuit for assassination

Just wanted to let you know how much your dedication to writing about these issues means. In a world seemingly gone mad, being able to read clearly-written, well-researched articles like yours gives me hope & the strength to keep working towards a better country.
