Our foreign policy in the Americas is one if not the major reason for the increase in immigration. I agree, we should stop America’s influence of Embargos and Regime Changes that have led to these kinds of conditions. I think we’re in agreement there. Ending US influence would certainly help reduce the crisis, but we should also accept them all as legal immigrants that have a path for citizenship. We are a nation of immigrants after all.
My point is that the Democrats capitulating to the right wing narrative, which is completely made up, is bad politics and bad policy. The Pro-immigration stance Democratics have had for decades was very popular too. Sentiment has only changed once Democrats stopped providing a counter-narrative and instead ran with the right wing framing.
