Pro-business conservatives have an incentive to make immigration easy and socialist liberals have an incentive to make immigration more difficult. Obama knew that socialized healthcare can't work without controlling borders. He wasn't an open-border president.

Prager is a fool who doesn't know anything. I don't say that just because he's an unhinged right-winger. Jordan Peterson is also an unhinged right-winger and he moped the floor with Destiny. Destiny is brilliant, he couldn't make it as a streaming gamer with all those subs without being innately brilliant. He's quick on his feet but I wouldn't say he's highly educated. When he stepped into Peterson's lair, Peterson took control and owned the poor kid out of the gate. Peterson is also highly intelligent, he is highly educated, he knows his core material inside and out, and his confidence level is off the charts. He's strategic and clear when he speaks and he quickly cornered Destiny, leaving Destiny unsure about what his position actually was. It was so humiliating for Destiny I couldn't watch past ten minutes or so and stopped it. I'll admit that my respect for Peterson went up a lot after that debate because I expected Destiny to show up with his quick tongue and run circles around Peterson. Nope.

In contrast, Prager shows up as classic old dude with a shirt and tie as if he's important, spouts talking points that are either just made up or at best, completely subjective. Out of the Trump playbook he says the equivalent kind of things as Trump would say, like recently when he said, "I've done more for blacks than any president in history since Abraham Lincoln."

While I think Destiny did better than Prager, he could have done much better still. When deciding who is the divisive president, Biden or Trump, Destiny should have prepared all the statements that Vance, Cruz, De Santis, Pence, and a good deal of MAGA have had to say about Trump when they didn't have an incentive to suck up. Prager accused Democrats of comparing Trump to Hitler, which doesn't say much considering his own running mate said the same thing himself. That should have been Destiny's first response.
