If President DeSantis will be serious about immigration, (and by 'serious' I mean mass deportations, finishing the wall and ZERO immigration for a while at least) America has a chance.
Otherwise, look to the UK for a vision of our future.
With or without the problems getting the wall done (caused mainly by Congessional Democrats, I thought), it's pretty apparent to anyone paying attention to anything other than CNN/MSNBC that the border was pretty well tightened up. Is it really only by comparison to the completely open border Biden caused by reversing everything it was that Trump did.
Ann, we all get to the same place, just some of us take a different route. Barr was not my choice and knew he wouldn’t rock the establishment boat. Oversaw an impotent civil rights division and let Trump daily tweet “Law And Order” without doing anything to match the rhetoric.
I spoke generally of White Western guilt ridden ‘apologists’, which do not include me. You are so right in that Slavery wasn’t invented by the West. It is referenced in the Bible. 40 whites in a rotting sail driven oversized canoe armed with perhaps 10 muskets and a couple of pistols cannot and did not land in Africa and round up anyone. The slaves were sold into slavery by their ‘brothers’. They were held captive by their ‘brothers of color’ for buyers to bid on and they helped escort their, ‘brothers’ and load their ‘ brothers’ onto the ships bound for the Americas.
The crusades were in large part to protect Christians in their pilgramage to the holy lands. They were laid upon by the Arabs, who robbed, raped ,murdered the pilgrims then took those they wanted, as slaves. The Arabs and the Africans Invented modern day slavery and have never renounced or apologized for it. The West built this world. This world needs the West and without it….
I don't think GOP leadership trusts its constituents. Whenever it senses its own political power being threatened, GOP leadership won't modify its behavior to cater to its voters, but will instead gang up with the Dems for protection. See (among other things): Immigration.

Either the Left got something on Barr - or he suddenly got rich.
What would it take for them to proceed with the wall, e verify, end of birthright citizenship?
See what Pence just did? Make abortion a national issue. Just in time to screw up the red wave.
