Sensible policy like this goes right over the heads of the average American.
Bloodthirsty boomers just want to genocide latin america instead.
Boomers* are the most miserable people on the planet. I've never seen a group so ready to kill themselves and everyone around them.
*Western boomers
They directly robbed from their children via the economy and indirectly robbed from them by destroying the environment. Caligula would blush at their wanton debauchery.
I think this was said on Chapo awhile ago, but boomers are willing to stack millions of corpses on the southern border so they can live in their Floridian retirement communities that will be underwater in a decade. I don't like to engage in generational politics but western boomers are largely ghoulish, soulless individuals who think they're the only "real" person and everyone else exists to serve them in one way or another
It's okay to point out that out, "generational politics" doesn't really mean anything when the people you're talking about regularly engage in reactionary thought and practices.
Western Boomers are unapologetically reactionary
The people who live to see boomer old age are largely the ones being served. The servant boomers are all dying off. That’s why the concentration of the archetype you describe exists among the old.
Capitalism literally kills the poor sooner.
Nah Boomers always sucked. Reagan won the youth vote, the based boomers were always a tiny minority.
*Western boomers
Baby boomers were mostly a western phenomenon anyway.
Ethnic boomers scare tf outta me, God forbid you bring up mental health
We do have them in eastern Europe too, it's the generation born in 40's and 50's, so roughly equivalent, which didn't personally knew war and nazism, was first generation profiting from the unprecedented social equality and growth under socialism, reciving education, jobs, housing, help in raising family, economical stabilisation. And then they shat down on this under western propaganda offensive and sold their countries and next generations for the trinkets and baubles promised to them by Radio Free Europe.
Polish, and other eastern European boomers did killed the socialism in their countries over treats promises by RFE so i don't see meaningful difference.

What do you mean boomers lol
If democrats and republicans all got replaced by 20-40 year olds, they would still continue oppressive policies against Latin America and their voters, young and old, will support it.
Ask your average young liberal or young conservative whether or not they want to give stop punishing Cuba and give money and food to Latin Americans so they stop coming to the US. They will look at you like you’re a crazy communist - which I mean is true, but it’s not even because you’re advocating for communism. Hence OP’s comment
I accidentally read this at first as a proposal by the president of the US and was shocked he was proposing this. Then I reread it and it made more sense.
I read it initially as the Americans being angry at his proposal and were counting it on their list of reasons to support his political opponents.
I mean most Americans would be angry with this and maybe consider it a coupable offence.
That's what I read it as at first.
