voters to his side in the 2018 midterm election. His warnings about “caravans” of immigrants headed north through Mexico failed to prevent his party from losing its majority in the House.
In a poll by Quinnipiac University in July, half of voters said they believed the president is racist, but a larger group, 60%, said they believed Democrats were more interested in exploiting immigration issues for political gain than in finding real solutions.“The riffs that candidates are using now need to be updated,” said Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of America’s Voice, an immigrant-rights group.
The tendency of Democratic candidates to chafe even at use of the word “crisis” to describe the situation at the border concerns some former officials. Trump is not subtle about the politics of the issue. He says publicly that he believes immigration will be a winner for him, something he can use to drive a wedge between Democrats and economically anxious voters who may be uncomfortable with Trump’s plan but even less comfortable with no plan. At a recent fundraiser in Texas, he boasted that Democrats would pay a price at the ballot box in 2020 for their immigration policy.
And all seven of the current senators among the 2020 hopefuls wrote colleagues last week urging them to vote against Trump’s request for increased funds for ICE.
Biden basically has all the Liberals Democrats & Blue Dogs. While the rest basically have the Millennials & Generation X & Z
None of them have a platform that's why Sanders is mainly leading. All the others after him are just taking his ideas & putting them in different words. But their supporters are too foolish to see that. Biden is only leading cuz hes got the oldschool LBJ Carter & Clinton Dems
That's A Lie,Kamala said She'd Appt. More Judges.
Why should they,talk is cheap, they hate anyone who is trying to fix the border mess ,illegal, with out visa is illegal, breaking the law is not tolerated, entering the United States require a permission.
You sound almost surprised, LAT.
They don’t want to do anything! There is no crisis
Of course not. They know there needs to be a way to stop the mass immigration from Central America but won't say so publicly.
You mean... ' taking aim at Obama's old policies..
Or anything else for that matter except Elizabeth Warren but u fortunately for her she lacks charisma & defo not gonna make it.
Because that would be insane. Trump WANTS to make the election about the border. Smart Dem candidates will make it about the subjects they lead in - healthcare and wealth inequality
