After fumbling border security, the immigration crisis is on Republicans
By Will Marshall

President Biden ([link removed]) must feel like he can’t catch a break. Even as the nation’s cost-of-living crisis seems to be abating, another is rising to take its place: A record-breaking surge of illegal immigrants across America’s southern border.

Recent polls show that immigration has either edged out inflation as U.S. voters’ top concern or is running a close second ([link removed]) . The last thing President Biden and Democrats need is a chaotic border taking center stage in the 2024 presidential campaign.

The spike has overwhelmed border and customs officials, flooded immigration courts and detention shelters and imposed heavy economic costs on border communities. It’s also sparking a ([link removed]) backlash ([link removed]) in big “sanctuary cities” like Chicago, Denver and New York, where Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been ([link removed]) busing migrants ([link removed]) .

The public consequently gives Biden ([link removed]) low marks ([link removed]) for handling immigration. That’s especially true in key swing states, where by hefty margins voters ([link removed]) trust Donald Trump more than Biden ([link removed]) to manage the situation on the border.

But if immigration is a political headache for Biden and his party, it’s turning into a debacle for the Republican Party. Yesterday, in a stunning display of hypocrisy and cowardice, Republican congressional leaders torpedoed a tough national and border security bill designed to drastically curtail illegal immigration.
