News Analysis: Why Biden’s order on the ‘out of control’ border may not fix Democrats’ political problem

LA Times  

President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden on Thursday after ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of D-day. “He probably should have done it sooner.” Biden, Axelrod, Cortez Masto and other Democrats have been laying the border problem at the feet of Republicans, who tanked a bipartisan bill earlier this year that would have given the president more money and leverage for enforcement because Trump wanted to keep the issue alive for the campaign. Republicans, despite their own culpability in tanking congressional efforts, immediately labeled Biden’s bill “a scam.” “If you want the border secured and you want this group to do it, you’re going to die waiting,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who supported the bipartisan package, told reporters this week. “I don’t necessarily think that there are a whole lot of persuadable voters who think this is the most important issue,” said Greenberg, who also conducts focus groups. U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, who has emerged as Biden’s biggest immigration critic on the left, said the president still has time to fulfill campaign promises to fix the system in a more holistic way that would provide legal protections for more essential workers and farmers who were praised during the pandemic but are now threatened with deportation by Biden.
