A notable shift in the Democratic Party’s stance on border control has been observed by CNN’s White House Correspondent, Priscilla Alvarez, during a recent appearance on “The Lead.” Alvarez attributes this change to the series of crises that have plagued the U.S.-Mexico border over the past three years, resulting in a surge of migrants being relocated to cities led by Democratic administrations.
Alvarez pointed out that the party’s increasingly firm stance on border control is evident, particularly among Democrats who have grown vocal about their concerns regarding the issue. This shift in attitude is likely an attempt to bridge the gap in voter trust on border control, an area where former President Donald Trump has consistently maintained a double-digit lead.
When questioned by host Jake Tapper about the evolution of the party’s stance, Alvarez cited the administration’s efforts to address the border crisis, including its decision not to decriminalize border crossings. However, she emphasized that the party’s current stance is a direct response to the cumulative impact of the multiple border crises that have unfolded over the past three years.
Alvarez suggested that the party’s shift is a reaction to the growing unease among Democrats nationwide, who have witnessed the consequences of the border crises firsthand. Her remarks highlight the dynamic nature of the Democratic Party’s stance on border control and the escalating concerns among its members regarding the issue.
