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.

Cornyn defended Trump for siphoning Pentagon budget to pay for border wall, but now claims he was against it

Sen. John Cornyn, trying to distance himself from President Donald Trump as Election Day looms, now says he opposed siphoning off billions from the Pentagon in order to build the border wall, a claim that directly contradicts multiple statements defending that budget maneuver.

The RNC celebrated immigrants last night. To a dreamer watching, it rang very hollow

The first lady’s “dream, her story, is idolized,” Gomez said. “It’s like, ‘Oh, wow, she studied and became a U.S. citizen.’ But a father fleeing violence from his home country in Latin America, dreaming of the American Dream, he is a criminal. Why is she idolized and others are not?”

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. The deep partisan split over immigration casts heavy doubt that Congress could pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul early next year with a new occupant at the White House and a newly-minted Congress.

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."
