GOP, Trump take aim at Biden’s border policies amid growing concerns
After weeks of adamantly rejecting the label, President Joe Biden referred to “the crisis that ended up on the border with young people” in remarks to reporters Saturday, but the White House later backtracked, insisting the “crisis” he was referring to was not the immediate situation at the nation’s southern border.

Frank Sharry: White House Political Rally Underscores Cynical Republican Midterm Strategy
As expected, yesterday’s White House celebration of ICE and CBP was an overtly political rally. It neatly captured Trump’s midterm strategy: inject race, immigration and “us vs. them” appeals at every opportunity. The purpose is threefold: 1) to excite white grievance voters in the GOP base; 2) to keep the focus off the terrible Republican record on kitchen table issues; and 3) to distract from the simple fact that the main beneficiaries of the unified Republican control of the federal government has been the super rich, not the average Joe.

Poll: Trump deeply unpopular among Latinos, who favor Clinton by more than 3 to 1
Hillary Clinton maintains a nearly 50-percentage-point lead among Hispanic voters in a new Washington Post-Univision News poll, with Donald Trump’s deep unpopularity raising questions about how much his candidacy has hampered Republicans’ long-term chances to win back support from the nation’s largest minority-group voting bloc.Congressional Republicans’ struggles suggest the party may need to shift on some issues to overcome Hispanics’ tilt toward Democrats.
A Narrower Majority for Republicans Could Widen the House Divide
The contest for control of the House of Representatives will probably yield an even more polarized chamber, leaving a smaller, more conservative Republican majority that may challenge the re-election of Paul D. Ryan as speaker and greet Hillary Clinton with a fresh round of investigations — whether she wins the White House or not.

Immigration reform in 2017? Good luck after this campaign
The GOP's harsh immigration rhetoric was on stark display in Cleveland, while Democrats are sprinting in the other direction.

Donald Trump’s Reputation With Latinos Spells Disaster For The GOP In November
Exactly one year ago today, Donald Trump kicked off his successful bid for the GOP nomination by attacking Latino immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, and promising to build a wall between them and American soil. Now, the same community Trump targeted may be the one erecting a wall between him and the White House.
How popular is Trump with Hispanic voters?
Donald Trump has promised to build a wall along the southern border. He's referred to Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals. He's attacked the Republican Hispanic governor of New Mexico.

Thanks To Trump, The RNC Just Lost A Crucial Hispanic Official

GOP-Led House Backs Legal Challenge to Obama on Immigration
The House voted on Thursday to embrace the legal challenge to President Barack Obama's actions on immigration in an election-year fight over executive authority and the 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally that has roiled the Republican Party. Republicans who hold a commanding majority cast the issue as Obama exceeding his constitutional authority in unilaterally expanding programs for immigrants. They prevailed on a 234-186 vote that authorizes Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of United States v. Texas.
House GOP to SCOTUS: Yes, U.S. v. Texas Is A Political Stunt
Today, to mark the three year anniversary of the infamous RNC autopsy report, House Republicans are holding yet another anti-immigrant vote. This is the eighth by our count. But, this vote sends a message to the Supreme Court: United States v. Texas, the lawsuit brought by 26 GOP Governors and Attorneys General, is, in reality, nothing but a political exercise.
Why Republicans should love undocumented immigrants
The conventional wisdom is that Democrats benefit from immigration. A new paper by Anna Maria Mayda, Giovanni Peri and Walter Steingress shows that this is true, at least on average. Larger numbers of immigrants who acquire citizenship (and can thus vote) increase election returns for Democratic candidates across different types of U.S. elections. Yet increases in the share of non-citizen migrants are correlated with higher Republican vote shares.

Fox and Calderón, 2 Ex-Presidents of Mexico, Say No Way Country Is Paying for Donald Trump’s Wall
While the Mexican government has said little about Mr. Trump's plan to beef up border security, two of the country's former presidents have a message for Mr. Trump: Mexico won't pay. "I'm not going to pay," Vicente Fox said, using a profanity to comment about the wall Thursday in an interview with Fusion. "He should pay for it. He's got the money."
