This is abominable, but it's a differenc in degree, not in kind, from border enforcement as typically carried out.
It's the difference between trying to harm someone and actively trying to kill them.

And it's the reason why we have cheap good. These idiots don't realize that the US economy would collapse overnight if these cheap, "illegal" laborers up and vanished.
Is it maybe worth examining the economy's reliance on underpaid, exploited labor?

Oh, absolutely. Good luck finding a collection of smart and reasoned people to agree on a new approach, though. Mostly because it benefits the super rich, since food and good prices skyrocketing would threaten their very existence.

It's in their interest to keep prices low so everyone stays complacent.

States like Texas are held hostage by voter suppression.

Biden's strategy of "out-organizing" voter suppression is naive and honestly, kind of shitty, because it puts the onus of fixing an unfair system on the people most affected by it (namely, POC).

There's no better strategy. It's also what worked in Georgia which was way more red than Texas.

At first I only saw still images of the saws and thought they were like, smooth bladed and didn't have teeth (just the spikes poking out the side on the surface of the saw), only just today did I finally see a reel where they zoomed in and there were indeed bladed teeth on them.

Pretty fucked up.

But if state policy constitutes a violation of basic human right and the Constitution, isn't the federal government empowered to take action to make sure those are enforced, at the very least?

The feds should have more power to stop this than they're currently exercising.
