Dems Risk Electoral Suicide Over Immigration

Pop quiz! Which politician said "We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked." Donald Trump? Mitch McConnell?

Nope. Try Barack Obama. The 44th president, who was once called the "deporter in chief" for returning so many illegal immigrants to their home nations, won two resounding victories by pursuing centrist immigration policies that didn't repel moderate voters.

Unfortunately, today's Democratic politicians — even the supposedly moderate Joe Biden — have rejected Obama's pragmatism and embraced extremist open-borders policies.

This could prove toxic in the 2020 general election. Although Biden currently leads in the polls, the race is tightening as November approaches. And David Shor, who served as one of President Obama's top elections and polling analysts, recently warned his fellow Democrats that their immigration policy proposals are a turnoff to swing voters.
