I want a border that is fully hardened against incursions and to turn away every single person with a bogus asylum claim from south of the border, which in my view is every single person with an asylum claim from south of the border.
What makes all asylum claims originating south of the border bogus? I'd have thought at least Venezuelans would get some benefit of the doubt.

I've seen most of them go a step further and "critically support" Russia against Ukraine, citing Putin's denazification justification and the existence of the Azov Battalion. As best I can tell it's motivated largely out of a worldview that sees the US as the arch-imperialist power in the world today, and that anything that weakens its influence is a good thing, regardless if they believe Russia's motivations are pure or not.

I am no expert, but I got a food handling certification when I worked for Domino’s. I can’t speak to standards of cleanliness in East Asia or relative strengths of immune systems, but the reason we’re required to keep food that isn’t shelf-stable either refrigerated or hot is because ambient room temperature is a perfect sweet spot for bacterial growth. I’m both unaware and skeptical of there being anything on the food producer side that would so thoroughly sterilize the food as to completely remove those pathogens.
I think most liberals likely wouldn't see a contradiction, since their guiding principle in both of these cases would be that the pregnant woman's agency is paramount. If Hamby's confident she can play basketball around her pregnancy, then by all means, let her. By that same vein, if hypothetical girlboss terminates her pregnancy for her career ambitions, well again that's up to her. Hence the whole "my body, my choice".
