Didn’t see this posted here yet. Crazy to see just how credulous mainstream Dems have gotten, saying Trump is right on this issue. I’m sure tacking right and ceding the entire conversation to the blood and soil crowd crying invasion will win back the hogs who voted for Trump, just like it did with every other issue it has been tried for!
However, there’s I would argue that the optics around relaxing border laws when Biden first got into office was such a bizarre own-goal. The article also notes that “The Trump administration appears to continue to welcome debate on immigration – an issue where, despite some declining support in recent public opinion polls, they believe they still have the upper hand.” Knowing how much anti-immigrant propaganda, ragebait and slop people actively and passively consume every day through their social media feeds, they are probably right to assume this both in the US and elsewhere.

Some of the positions Democrats staked out in 2020 were indeed crazy and it is what got us here now.
Good to see senior Democrats having some introspection.
We probably would have never ended up here if Democrats mostly stuck by Obama’s policies. But even that policy was unacceptable to some (deporter-in-chief) and we are facing the abyss.
