For the Dems they just see them as poor future impoverished D voters, the more that come in the better, they figure one day they will get some sort of amnesty passed with a path to citizenship and they will have millions and millions more voters reliant on the government. So why in the world would they ever try to stop this or even slow it down?

As for the old what’s left of the slowly dying old school GOP? Their donors want the cheap labor they can pay slave wages to.

It's funny because it never will happen.

Even when democrats has majority in senate, House and a POTUS (Obama comes to mind) they still couldn't get any sort of major immigration laws done. All Obama could do was create that GD "Dreamers" program that Trump tried to kill.

Only way for democrats to get major immigration reform done, including "ammnesty", path to citizenship, or whatever is if they have control of WH *and* huge super majority in senate ( > 59 seats) and House. Good luck with that.

Hold onto your hat dearie, because it isn't over, not by a long shot.

Hundreds of these "migrants" are crossing into USA daily and majority are making their way to NYC area.

If they ever get the majority of the senate and house again you can bet they will get rid of the filibuster and ram through whatever they can with a simple majority

Highly unlikely to happen anytime in the near future given the senate maps in '24 and '26 are stacked against the dems. Probably a higher chance of Republicans eliminating it first if they win a trifecta.

From your lips to god’s ears! Lol and you are right the map is a horror show for them in 24. Tester and Manchin are both in serious trouble

The Biden Administration has admitted One Million Migrants to Await Hearings.

What did they think would happen? Where was the planning in advance. And that's just the ones that came here thru the asylum process. This is an abject failure.

I wouldn’t even call it a failure. To them it’s a stunning success.

In Escalation, Adams Says Migrant Crisis ‘Will Destroy New York City’

In provocative remarks at a town hall meeting, Mayor Eric Adams said that he did not “see an ending” to the migrant crisis and renewed his push for federal help.

Good luck getting Joe Biden to shut down the border. But he might send more of our tax dollars to address the crisis he created.

Even if his support is very low in the polls it is a wonder anyone at all (beyond the looney ‘open borders’ fringe Left) approves of Biden.

You really think of all candidates this old senile man could have won the elections whilst sitting in a basement ? Country is run by special interest.
