Still, the possibility has prompted President Joe Biden to tell press that he would be “willing to make significant compromises on the border.” Several new outlets, including CBS News, have since reported that the administration is considering a number of proposals that would likely appease Republicans clamoring for more border enforcement. Among them would be the use of a Title 42-like authority to summarily expel migrants without hearings; the allowance of mandatory detention of migrants; and the expansion of fast-tracked deportations beyond the border.

Biden is signaling his willingness to support this bill if it gets him funding for Ukraine and Israel.

I get that politics works through give and take. But actions like this, on Biden’s part, means giving up young votes.

And shaming young people for having a conscience isn’t helpful here. Yes, it’s poor political strategy on their part. But taking them for granted is poor strategy on Biden’s.
