Democrats Moving to the Center on Immigration
Official White House Photo
Christain Paz for Vox analyzes the politics of immigration in the 2024 presidential race. "At the [Democratic National Convention] last week, [Kamala] Harris and the speakers . . . made clear that the Democratic Party of 2024 is moving right, toward the political center, when it comes to how they talk about immigrants, migration, and security at the southern border. While humanitarianism, openness to migrants, and rolling back restrictive Trump-era policies used to be the Democratic focus, Democrats are locked in on stopping the flow of migrants, limiting asylum, and funding more Border Patrol operations."

Also, consider this. Harris wouldn’t have to continue any of the current “let's look tougher on border security’ actions being taken in the months before the elections if she is elected. Nothing the current administration has done on border security will be binding on whoever is in the White House next year.

I disagree with this article. I think the Dems are just saying what they think will help them in the upcoming elections. If you are open to an opposing presentation, read my article.
‘Will a Harris presidency be four more years of Biden’s immigration policies?”
