"'If I’m elected president, we’re going to immediately end Trump’s assault on the dignity of immigrant communities,' he said during his speech accepting the Democratic nomination. 'We’re going to restore our moral standing in the world and our historic role as a safe haven for refugees and asylum seekers.' That kind of humanitarian language is gone from Democrats’ 2024 messaging. So is any defense of immigration on the merits. When asked about immigration, Vice President Kamala Harris touts her background prosecuting transnational criminal organizations and promises to pass legislation that would 'fortify' the southern border.... Although public opinion is known to ebb and flow, a reversal this big, and this fast, is nearly unheard-of...."

In other words, Trump was right. Again.
If you have to basically steal the opposition's message on all the hot button issues, including:
- the economy
- immigration
- crime
... And all while defending unpopular wars, you are going to get wrecked. Actually, I'm starting to wonder if the Rats are throwing this election, confident that they can use lawfare to take back Congress. They might be very disappointed. Next term, President Trump will treat lawfare as warfare. Example:

"So is any defense of immigration on the merits."
That's because this has nothing to do with immigration, and everyone to do with illegal immigration. People who conflate the two are dishonest and should be called out for their despicable lies.
Public opinion hasn't changed at all. What has changed is the perceived importance of the issue after almost 4 years of Democratic unrestricted illegal border crossings.
@mccullough, + 1
The 2020 election was sabotaged and rigged right out in the open. The sabotage and rigged was blatant and shameless. It’s even worse in the 2024 election. This election is a total Soviet style fraud.
Before Obama opened the border, immigration used to be a political backwater.
Now, it’s only second to the economy.
The size and speed of the immigration backlash over the past four years are nearly unheard-of"
MORE than TEN Million in LESS THAN 4 years.. "nearly" unheard of.. okay
it's Not Even illegal immigration!
immigration (legal or illegal) means the immigrant WANTED to come here..
These criminals are being SENT here
(by their government and/or our own)
once Kamela is counted into office; ANY American that volunteers for the Armed Forces is both a FOOL and a traitor.
Hard to improve upon mccullough's apt observation.
What does the fox news story have to do with lawfare? It sounds like the judge was involved with the sheriff's daughter. Maybe I missed something.
""The Most Dramatic Shift in U.S. Public Opinion/The size and speed of the immigration backlash over the past four years are nearly unheard-of" ...
You know what? I think it's been pretty much 'heard of' now, and I suspect in the coming weeks, it's going to become even more 'heard of'.
It's watching a judge get riddled with bullets by the very system he's supposedly immune to. I'd wonder why I have to spell this out for anyone, but I don't wonder at all.
"Fortify." Where have we heard that before?
Voters were always opposed to illegal immigration. "Public opinion" hasn't really changed, just Democrat voters' tolerance for pseudo-humanitarian bllsht. They'll still vote Democrat, and if Harris wins, the flow will continue. It may be held under 10,000 known illegal entries per day -- or perhaps not.
What has Biden done for legal immigration especially compared to illegal immigration?

Is it any surprise? Any surprise at all?
Trump should be hammering this incessantly. Not the "criminals" aspect of it, but the millions and millions entering this country with no reasonable way to care for them.
This so very selfish. The democrats have created a catastrophe, all to enhance their election chances; now, and especially in the future. It's vile.

'We’re going to restore our moral standing in the world and our historic role as a safe haven for refugees and asylum seekers.'
A fairly small percentage of asylum petitions are ultimately granted. Letting in 10 million purported asylum-seekers, MOST of whom don't qualify, in order to prove to the "world" our "moral standing," is beyond stupid.
Well you must remember the concept of "legal or illegal" has a unique meaning in the Biden family.
Immigration has been an issue the Uniparty has kicked down the road since Reagan authorized that amnesty in 1986. The Uniparty has always hoped they could engineer another bigger amnesty but were thwarted by a few die-hard anti-illegal Democrats and Republicans who felt hoodwinked by the plan. They thought they would be able to finally do it in 2016 but Trump happened.
Ever since getting annointed/nominated the vice president has acted as if she were merely an outside observer of her administration, and although she wants America to "turn the page," when she was asked what policies she thought better of, she couldn't come up with any.
The democrats have no intention of sending them home. They're already talking of granting them all citizenship. "Asylum" was only the method used to get them in the door.
What the fuck kind of Commie foreigner name is "Rogé Karma"?
Democrats know the damage has been done, and, arguably, in what may prove to be a fatal blow.
Fuck these treasonous people!
They want to count them in next year's census- that's why so many and so much moving around. Happy to take them off your hands, Texas...
That's why there is going to be conscription.
That's why there is going to be conscription.
"The size and speed of the immigration backlash over the past four years are nearly unheard-of"
Just spitballin' here, but maybe it's because the size and speed of illegal immigration is unheard of in American history
I think the whole system went off the rails when we started talking about "migrants", not "immigrants". I don't know where that usage came from. The idea seemed to be that they were "coming here" so "migrating" was a valid description, and you didn't have to worry about "legal" or "illegal".
Motion carried!
You know who hasn't changed his mind?

In other words, Trump Derangement Syndrome resulted in all sorts of self-destructive knee-jerk opposition and reckless rage. Lots of malformed adults and fading boomers with the emotional maturity of 2-year-olds required 8 years to get through this.
Now wait until a bunch of abused and cut-up transgendered kids sue and bankrupt the medical industry. Now wait until Title IX women sue universities for discrimination. Now wait until the mRNA heart disease and (cancer?) victims sue too. Etc. Etc. Etc. The TDS hangover will take a full generation to resolve.

I'm not so certain that either of these statements is fully true. Achilles made a similar remark the other day, and so I got to looking at the data. What the data shows is that Democrats increased their 2020 vote by 15 million mostly by increasing it in urban areas. But when you ask if they targeted the battleground states, the answer is no, or at least not more so that in other urban areas. They increased their votes in all urban areas, indiscriminately. That may be a sign the looser voting rules encouraged a lot more votes to be counted but they don't seem to be strategically placed, which one would expect if it were cheating.

Welp, now we've heard of it.
In the Arizona Senate race debate, Democrat candidate Ruben Gallego accused Kari Lake of voting against the Democrat's border bill. Could someone remind me when she was elected to Congress?
Laches, Standing and career suicide for anyone raising concerns. Zuckerbucks and suppression/censorship. Take your fucking meds.
After Pedo Pete promised to surge the border, they removed effective border controls Trump put in place. Start by putting those back, not some poison pill POS legislation.
Even they couldn't continue with the stupidity of "undocumented".
Laches, Standing and career suicide/lawfare for anyone questioning process. Media foisting terms like "election deniers" and "The big lie" while suppressing Hunter Biden laptop revelations. Zuckerbucks piling in while 200 mules did their duty. Yeah, all was washed away....
2,000..but who's counting.
