Matthew Blanton for the Hill contends that Democrats must make the economic case for immigration in the 2024 presidential election.   He observes that "Democrats appear hesitant to engage the issue of immigration, either avoiding the topic altogether or, as seen at the Democratic National Convention, simply playing defense against Republican attacks or even even shifting their stance to the right. . . .   [Democrats] should proudly reclaim their identity as the pro-immigrant party and boldly make the case that immigration is integral to America’s economic health . . . . By highlighting their ongoing efforts to fix border issues and stressing the broader economic benefits of immigration, Democrats can reclaim the narrative."

Thoughts?  Do people really 'get" the economic benefits brought by immigrants and their labor?
