Immigration crisis is the dominant social concern for Americans in how they will vote in the 2024 presidential election. It only falls to second place behind the economic crisis in terms of overall importance. Abortion, healthcare, racial inequality, climate change? Nobody cares - At least not enough people to shift enough votes one way or the other.
Any candidate that wants to be taken seriously during this election cycle will have to address the open border problems created by the Biden/Harris Administration, and Democrats just decided they care about a month before the public goes to the ballot box. The same people that created the problem now want you to believe they can be trusted to fix it.
Kamala Harris and many Democrat candidates have suddenly pulled a 180 degree spin on their open border cheerleading. Not long ago they were gaslighting the American public on the crisis, denying that the danger existed and calling anyone who mentioned it a "racist."
Harris argued: “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed.”
This was a lie. Border crossings surged in 2021. It has also now been reported that ICE was forced to release over 435,000 illegal immigrants with prior criminal convictions into the US due to Biden and Harris policies. Over 13,000 of those convicts are murderers.
