Dems basically fight any attempts at across the board immigration controls which cater to the large wing of the party that sees any disucssion of controlling immigrants as racism and xenophobia. gop want to build a wall so dems can say the gop is racist against immigrants and get their side riled up to vote against people who hate immigrants. Dems used to talk tough on immigration but realized it kills their voting with latinos so they backed off. you will never hear a dem platform described as trying to stop the flow of people across the border illegally or handle the large numbers because attempts to do so hurt their election chances.... once the election is over they can move on to something else.
Biden is out of the country and Newsom moves into the White House......pretty arrogant move in the face of Biden
There’s some truth here but net/net immigration and border issues are electorally a loser for democrats. Democrats get jammed up because they keep trying to protect dreamers and they get hammered for all things border by republicans. The border is truly a Republican football. Trump’s number one issue was a border wall which the republicans could have included in any budget, if they could ever pass a budget. Dreamers legislation needs full senate to enact.
