You really think we’re going to agree objectively on this?

I’m a liberal. If someone takes a step to the left, more often than not, they are also taking a step toward what I see as a benefit for the country.

That’s not to say that steps to the right are bad for the country. But it’s not generally the direction I move in.

For instance, I think trying to send home the DACA people was a bad move. I do not like the idea of punishing the child for the crimes of the father, especially when the punishment involves exile to a country where they potentially don’t even speak the language, and especially since DACA people are verified good citizens as a condition of the program.

And therefore, I agree with Biden overruling Trump’s attempts to deport DACA people.

I get the arguments that Trump people made saying that DACA is bad for the country. I understand the possibility of parents gaming the system. I do not particularly care, because I think the rights of the children are paramount and do not see illegal immigration as threateningly as you likely do. So I disagree with Trump that DACA makes our country worse and needed to be ended.

I am assuming (but not confident) that you can present an argument as to why I’m wrong.

It’s a value judgement. Perhaps there is an objective answer, but it’s clearly a difficult one to prove definitively.

I don’t even disagree with everything Trump said. Problem is that the stuff I agreed with him on (like the importance of a grand infrastructure bill) never materialized during his administration. So I don’t really have a lot of actual works on which to ally with him.
