GREG K. BOVINO: Once the critical mass crosses a certain threshold, the political and cultural recovery window closes. Republicans keep treating immigration as a policy debate they can “win” with better messaging and half-measures.

from Greg K. Bovino, 

The head of DHS, the border czar, and the entire leadership team still talk like this is a manageable enforcement problem. It is not. Biden’s open-border years did not create a temporary surge. They rewired the incentive structure, the networks, the expectations, and the demographics. Targeted raids and selective removals will not unwind that. Never does. Once the critical mass crosses a certain threshold, the political and cultural recovery window closes. There is no soft landing from the next invasion. The people waiting south of the border already told us the plan. Sit tight until Trump is gone, then move. They are rational. Our side is not. Republicans keep treating immigration as a policy debate they can “win” with better messaging and half-measures. Democrats treat it as a permanent power play. One side plays not to lose. The other plays to lock in the win. That is our reality, folks.

Everything else is noise.
