When idiots are shouting about a “problem” that isn’t a problem the solution is to yell about a real problem louder. The economy would have been a good place for Harris to start.
Look here now, we can’t say there are any issues at the border! It’s all just GOP talking points, nothing to see here. And for god’s sake, don’t point out the humanitarian issues. Liberals (rightly) hate humanitarian issues, but they can’t talk about this one because they would have to admit there’s a problem to begin with.
Yes, crossing are clearly down this year! But we’re looking at a major city worth of people, even for a “slow” year. The logistics of absorbing that many people are staggering. We would have to build my entire metro area 4 times over just to cover 2024.
Should probably point out that Congress, under Biden, tried to pass bills relating to border control. But republicans tanked it because there being a problem is good for their election chances (and it worked)
Dems under Biden tried to pass an immigration reform bill that Republicans wrote under Trump and Republicans shot it down so they could run on an immigration reform platform and pass it themselves
Definitely. Democrats were too slow to realize how big the problem at the border was and just how much they were getting punished for it.

And I’d bet money that they still don’t pass anything so they can continue to use it as a platform in the future
