The hyperbole here is so strong, I'm surprised it didn't crack my monitor while I read it. And most of it is false.
The big thing that gets lost to the bullhorn GOP bullshit is that most Dem candidates want to repeal Section 1325 and revert to when crossing the border outside of the legal parameters counts as a civil offense. That's not decriminalizing crossings, it's fixing a dumbass complexity in the law that exposes opportunities for abuse, like, say, Trump building concentration camps at the border.
I feel like now's a good time to also remind that crossing the border is not fundamentally illegal if someone is seeking asylum. It's only illegal once a person elects not to pursue asylum.
I've heard a total of ZERO candidates say they want to "deny no asylum claim". I have heard candidates say they want to buff up staffing so we can hear more asylum claims, allowing for asylum seekers to get their hearing much closer to when they arrive rather than the months or more they can currently wait (or get imprisoned instead of even getting a hearing, per current administration shenanigans).
