It's not like Bernie Sanders is an open borders champion. All that sounds like is Biden's cabinet is trying to undo Trump's damage responsibly and not create unintended consequences. I guess you'd only be happy with a left version of Trump creating a bunch of havoc with ill thought out executive orders, and let the cards fall where they may?

Well I guess we can look forward to four years of strawmen and leaping to conclusions from you anytime valid criticisms of Biden are brought up.

So Biden's admin saying this was a "Day One" campaign promise means nothing?

Yeah, I can get on board with saying "Joe the candidate" should not have said that. I don't agree that "Joe the president" should follow through on his promises if it turns out his promises were not well thought out.

I've always hated the "Day One" promise bull####. Stuff like that is red meat to engage a voting block and drive them to the polls. Stuff done on Day One is usually achieved by executive order and signals congress the likelihood of the President to play ball and govern through accepted means.
Trump has done incredible damage to our institutions of government and the best thing that Biden could do is to try and re-establish some normalcy to the process of governance. Making the appropriate changes through the course of establishing or changing the law is the right thing to do and will have a much longer impact on the issue than making an executive order. This is the right thing to do even though it will trigger those who claim to be progressives and cause them to lash out. This is a going to be a marathon, not a sprint, and as such take some time to see things fall into place. Those expecting an immediate 180 on Trump and Trumpism are in for a rude awakening.
Ah, normalcy: the dull acceptance of perpetual war while giving the donor class the final say in any mportant decision while a hopelessly corrupt gangster class of politicians sells out the country for pennies on the dollar. Breath it in folks, this is as good as it gets, you'd be a damned fool to hope for more.
