Wall Street Journal: “In his first weeks in the Oval Office, President Biden made a sharp U-turn on Trump’s immigration policies. He ordered a halt to building the border wall, suspended deportations and ended a Trump policy forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico. His 28 executive orders on the issue included rescinding a Trump policy making every migrant who crossed the border illegally subject to deportation, not just those who later committed a crime. And he sent a bill to Congress to legalize 11 million people without permanent legal status. It went nowhere.”
“Now, four years later, illegal immigration has helped power the political comeback of the man Biden defeated in 2020. Immigration is a top concern for voters, with only inflation a bigger worry, polls show. Immigration is also the issue where Trump holds the biggest advantage over Harris—a 16-point gap in the latest Wall Street Journal survey.”
