He’s taking away their campaign slogans. Don’t think it’s a good move overall, but politically it’s… Decent I guess? In a time when trump is facing some struggles, Joey boy outflanked him from the right and made the entire party look impotent. It’s a power move. We know they were stonewalling any border reform to prevent giving biden a “win.” Just think about how many times you’ve heard “open border” repeated on fox (not that this will stop them from lying as they always have, but now Joe has something to point to).
Though, I’m pretty sure the actual republican co-authored immigration bill was more acceptable than this. It added immigration judges to cut down the asylum hearing wait time to months instead of years. This just tells them to fuck off and take a hike which I think violates international law, though I haven’t read the whole thing yet so I’m just guessing.
They vote for their team no matter what, while Dems decide if they vote at all or not. The idea of a swing voter as a major force hasn’t been reality in multiple elections.
If this helps down ballot Dems, maybe it’s a savvy move, but it really looks like it is another “demotivate my base to appease people who will literally never vote for me” move.
