Democrats would be even further ahead if they gave up on “gop lite” with immigration and read some emma lazarus
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d agoRemarkable: Dems have now pulled even with the GOP *on immigration* in two new national polls. A third finds Trump 22 points underwater on the the issue, and *32 points* underwater among independents. Trump has absolutely destroyed the GOP advantage on immigration. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
In vastly inflating the threats from “leftist NGOs, smug globalists, and hostile Third World governments,” Rubio is not advancing US interests. But he is advancing his own interests by improving his standing with Trump and his followers who are suspicious of his MAGA bona fides. wapo.st/4fodN0r

When you are defeated in the sense of “unable to achieve your goals” but not defeated in the sense of “unable to continue military operations” then you are perpetually “headed for defeat” until you decide to end it. That’s how you get forever wars.

HE QUIT ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP "Trump signed an order saying babies born here to immigrant parents aren’t citizens unless the paperwork is right. The Supreme Court threw it out 6-3. He swore he’d demand a rehearing IMMEDIATELY & then he had 25 days to do it. Monday came & went with nothing filed"

Ernesto Castañeda, said the decades-old embargo has failed to take down the regime, and an invasion is unlikely. “I don't think we are there yet. Given what's happening in Iran, it would be crazy for the US to open a new front right now. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee...

It’s not an invasion or a crisis says @drernestocast.bsky.social Moroccans have crossed the border for temporary jobs for decades. They are now being used as a chess piece in national, EU and cross-Atlantic disputes about immigration. See his interview👇
