Immigration is a top issue for many voters, and a possible threat to Biden's reelection chances.

Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

    The part of the base that this anti-immigration move will anger is the same part of the base that’s already angry about the genocide.

    It’s like he’s trying to piss them off specifically and as much as possible.

      If the part that’s going to be pissed off is less than what could be won then is the risk worth taking? Some campaign manager must have thought so or this appeal against his own base is a terrible gamble.

        Yes I’m sure he’s not just doing this on a whim, but we’ll see how this pays off in November.

        If he loses it’s his fault alone.

          Nah they’ll blame the people he alienated. They did it for Hillary, they’ll do it for Biden. They block anything remotely progressive and then wonder why progressives don’t run to the polls for them.
