The hyper-prolific Joel Kotkin writes at Unherd.com about President Biden's mishandling of illegal immigration causing political backlash, especially in the southwest where most of the illegals first land.
Overall public support for his immigration policies started cratering as early as April, when barely two in five backed his approach. By May, according to Pew, over two-thirds of Americans disapproved of the Administration’s border polices.
And Kotkin concludes:
President Biden faces a conundrum. Forced by his genuflecting to woke ideology to embrace something akin to open borders, he threatens Democratic support among working-class voters of all ethnicities. He can continue to please progressive editorial writers as well as corporate executives eager for ever more cheap labor, but at the cost of endangering a critical base of support in 2022 and beyond.
