First bolded- ok, that's helpful.
Second bolded- Trump didn't grant them status; Mayorkas and Biden did. Each administration is not beholden to the promises (non-legislatively binding of course) of the previous admin. I agree they shouldn't have been granted status by the prior admin in the TPS function, but that's has far as I will go on that issue. Saying that we have "sunk to a new low" and calling Trump's decision "terrible" is pretty bold. The majority of Americans voted for a complete and total re-evaluation of immigration in the United States. Every swing state. Every county moved right. Popular vote. Electoral college. This is an 80/20 issue, so I am not sure I understand how (once again) Ukraine gets a pass when this applies broadly to all immigrants on TPS and those here illegally.
Third bolded- Why is their stay in America dependent on the continued support of this administration? What moral obligation does America hold to these folks? If we suppose it's a moral wrong to send them back at all, which is where we started- how are you squaring that circle by saying "It's not morally wrong if we continue to support this war, making the war longer, where these fighting age males will be put in a position to be slaughtered by an overwhelming invading force?"
If you want peace (which I 100% believe and take you at your word), I would assume your position would be, "Get Zelensky to the table right now, make peace, and let's find a path to citizenship for these asylum seekers." Instead, it looks as if you're saying, "If America prolongs this war, send the fighting-age males back to fight for their country, they shouldn't have left in the first place."
...which isn't peace- it's providing Zelensky with more folks to send to the front. Put plainly- you want peace, but if there isn't going to be peace, then you agree that fighting age males should be expelled to go to war for their country.
Am I misreading this?
