โWe destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,โ a Democratic senatorย confided to The Hillย under the condition of anonymity.
โWe utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here. Thatโs political malpractice. Thatโs not someone elseโs fault. Thatโs not the groups pushing us around.โ
A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he โwarned for two yearsโ that a porous border โwould overburden cities and alienate working-class people โ and they did not listen.โ
A House Democratic source suggested to The Post that the only way forward would be for party bosses โto get back to basics and simply admit to the American people โcrime and illegal immigration are bad.’โ
They likely wanted enough voters to secure their permanent electoral majority. They wouldnโt stop, no matter how much Americans pleaded. Finally, they went too far. Now, they are sorry.
They didnโt destroy themselves. Potentially, they destroyed the country, and they didnโt care until now.
