So in terms of labeling Biden's migrant plan as "inhumane," the Heir believes that that merely constitutes preaching to the choir.  This notion of inhumanity the Heir sees as reinforced by Kamala Harris's inability to answer Lester Holt's question as to whether she's visited the border.  That there is an embarrassment the Heir thinks Ms. Harris could have avoided if her press coaches gave her better preparation for that question, since it would certainly have been a question that would have been asked.  But the Heir noticed that just days after Ms. Harris's botched interview with Lester Holt, she discussed with makers and movers and shareholders in a meeting in Mexico City an economic plan meant to prevent migration from occurring in the first place by, among other things, encouraging investment by the private sector while also ensuring against corruption.  The Heir also noticed that the progressives almost totally ignored Ms. Harris's meeting in Mexico City, and focused almost exclusively on the visiting-the-border question in the Lester Holt interview, so in terms of proving the Biden plan as "inhumane," they're not comparing apples to apples.  It doesn't surprise the Heir that an anti-Biden progressivism would eventually emerge, because that's what they did to Funny Named Skinny Kid, and which the Heir believes helped lead to the 2010s midterms.  The Heir has never bought the progressives' "agitation" argument, because their agitation comments in public serve to cast so much doubt on a given targeted figure that the figure loses popular support no matter what s/he tries to do policy-wise.  If they do respond in "shaping up" to the progressives' agitations, the Heir observes, it makes the figures look weak and un-independent, and less leader-like.  And the Heir wants leadership, not capitulation.  That's what he voted for.  That said, the Heir has his own questions about Biden he wants asked of Jen Psaki at the next press corps meeting, and one of these are as below, but the Heir isn't ready to throw Biden under the bus if those questions aren't answered.  That's how the Heir is not progressive, and he's OK with that.

Heir: "My question is, if the infrastructure plan was already bipartisan because citizens from all persuasions polled as supporting it, why did the guy spend nearly two weeks with the Elephantines on a 'compromise' plan, which I'm sure would never have included high-speed rail in a million years, and which the Elephantines would have filibustered anyway?  Ms. Psaki, why did he do that?"
