The question here is “does Biden actually care?”
Most Americans believe Biden admin doing a bad job handling influx of migrants: Pew
Most Americans believe that the Biden administration is doing a bad job handling the current influx of migrants into the U.S., according to data released Friday by Pew Research Center.
Eighty percent of Americans said that the U.S. government is doing a “very bad” or “somewhat bad” job when it comes to “dealing with the large number of migrants seeking to enter the U.S. at the border with Mexico” in the released data. Only 18 percent said it is doing a “very good” or “somewhat good” job in dealing with the migrants. (snip)
Other findings in the Pew data included 57 percent of Americans saying that the current situation at the southern border with the sizable amount of migrants wanting to come into the country is leading to “[m]ore crime in the U.S.” Thirty-nine percent said that the situation at the border “[d]oesn’t have much impact on crime in the U.S., while three percent said it is leading to “[l]ess crime in the U.S.”
The poll doesn’t seem to be considering opinions from Independents, just Democrats and Republicans. Overall, 45% say Biden is doing a very bad job, and, directly from Pew
- Republicans’ views are overwhelmingly negative (89% say it’s doing a bad job), as they have been since Joe Biden became president.
- 73% of Democrats also give the government negative ratings, the highest share recorded during Biden’s presidency.
That’s actually pretty bad. How bad would it be if adding in Independents. Also, who are the 11% of Republicans who do not think Biden is utterly failing at the border? 65% of blacks, 74% of Hispanics, and 79% of Asians think he’s doing a crappy job. The question here is, does this make a difference in the way people vote? Can Republicans and Trump take advantage of this and message it correctly?

Facing community pushback, NYC mayor reverses plan to house migrants in luxury building
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has done a U-turn on plans to convert an abandoned luxury apartment complex into a shelter for illegal migrants after the community in Harlem opposed the proposal.
Adams turned up unannounced at a community meeting in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood Thursday where locals were gathering to discuss rumors the building on the corner of 130th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. was quietly being prepared for immigrants, according to CBS News.
The building was first advertised as luxury housing with a swimming pool, but it has been empty for around a decade after its developers defaulted on loans, the outlet reports. It was built in 2007 and has 35 units, city records show.
The locals did not like this one bit. It was supposed to be a luxury building, but, it is in Central Harlem, with a higher than average poverty rate. They complained, and Adams capitulated.
