    Yeah I think even Dems are seeing polling shift on this issue. By choosing to do absolutely nothing to stem the tide of border crossings (which Kamala Harris seems to have done) the party is realizing they’re handing the GOP a huge political weapon that can (and will) be used against all of them, even if they’re far from the border.

    edit: Lol at y’all downvoting legitimate sources. Sorry facts hurt your fee-fees.

      It’s the same with the kids in cages thing, like this is what America is, and what it must do to maintain its position in the world. You have to be anti-American to sincerely criticize it. The political system absorbs and mediates the outrage so the system can maintain itself. Biden committed more funds to the border wall and immigration policy still puts kids in cages, and it always will so long as America is what it is. Climate change and mass migration will require America to become more harsh, just like the European countries who let the migrant ships sink with families drowning in front of their eyes. Party politics can point the blame so nobody has to feel guilty.
