WASHINGTON — Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024. (Photo) “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.
“We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here.

One seriously doubts Dems can abandon their policies of ‘No illegal is illegal’. Yes, stupid is as stupid does

The day they have the honesty and courage to start calling the invaders illegal and aliens, I would say true change has begun. Until then, no chance!

Correct, Poster 1. The team Biden border policy was neither “botched,” bungled nor “mismanaged.” The opposite is true. The elitist democrats were proceeding rapidly toward their objectives to overwhelm the systems with millions of illegal alien invader net tax recipients, get millions of cars off the road, eliminate the First and Second Amendments along with all other individual liberties, and force the beleaguered former middle class to live in a 15-minute city national socialist democrat party utopia. That is what John Kerry meant when he said “we need to get people to behave.”

If so then they lied, lied again, lied some more, and then doubledowned on the lie. Who are they kidding? This is what they intended all along. They just thought that if they called us racist and mean we would eventually back off. If you notice they freaked out that so many blacks voted for Republicans but really got flabbergasted when they discussed the issue of Latinos voting Republican. No, they really don't get it. High prices don't affect the elite anymore than illegals so. But they affect the rest of us. I have no problem with legal immigrants.

Biden the cheater and the dims didn't botch the border crisis. The dims knew exactly what they were doing - flood the country with future dim voters to remove any chance of the pubbies ever winning a future election again and at any level. This had been a work in progress now for several decades.

They were trying to destroy the country, and that doesn't make people happy, and does make them vote against the open borders.

The “open border” situation is no doubt an organized plan by the leftist and progressive Democrats to flood the USA with unlimited numbers of poor and generally uneducated Third World origin migrants (illegal aliens) who are considered to be members of minority groups under the provisions of Democrat identity politics. The true leftist and progressive Democrat motive in doing that is to ultimately change the population demographics of the USA to the point that a vast coalition of both domestic and foreign origin minority groups eventually become the majority population of the USA. The leftist and progressive Democrats essentially intend to continually transition the illegal alien population, that may well exceed twenty million people, by way of a series of so-called comprehensive immigration reform laws, that are recently massive amnesty programs, to grant that population legal immigration statuses that would place those populations on so-called paths to US citizenship and ultimately to register those foreign born populations as future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions, thus making it impossible for the wimpy Republicans to win future elections throughout the country. The leftist and progressive Democrats know that they can buy those millions of “New American” votes by simply telling their foreign origin voters that they will allow their extended foreign family members into the USA to stay and work. The leftist and progressive Democrats actually want as many migrants (illegal aliens) to travel to the so-called “sanctuary cities” and areas they control as they know that when the next US Census comes around that all the migrants (illegal aliens) once counted in the census will “jack up” the populations of those cities and areas, thus causing a good number of current congressional districts and seats, to be redistricted (moved) into those Democrat controlled cities and areas where leftist and progressive Democrats candidates are sure to win the resulting redistrict caused elections, thus making it a sure thing that the leftist and progressive Democrats will control the House of Representatives in the Congress on into the future. If the leftist and progressive Democrat “demographic population” change plan is allowed to continue, without the migrants (illegal aliens) being arrested and deported back to their home countries, it’s just common sense that mass uncontrolled illegal immigration will continue to expand into the USA. Do the wimpy Republicans, not Trump and his supporters, have a clue?

Notice that they are not worried about the damage it did to the country; they are only concerned about politics and how it ruined their prospects in an election.

"Mismanaged the issue"? It isn't an issue it is a disaster. Harris is a lazy idiot that is why she lost the election.

"We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue"
Gee, ya think?? And even now they only want to whisper this reality anonymously.
And never forget, they were PROUD of what they were doing and excoriated anyone that opposed them as racists. Remember that Kamala said she "couldn't think of a thing" she would change about their last 4 years, including their handling of the border. The ONLY thing that could stop them was being voted OUT of office.
Four years from now remember this: Even if they "say" they wouldn't open the border again, it would only be because they are worried about the consequences. They would WANT TO and would do every underhanded thing they could to make the border "leaky". They want to subvert American voting with illegals, illegally voting.
WHY would we want these people back in office unless they made enormous efforts to prove they have reformed. Something like supporting every effort Trump makes to seal the border. (Like that will ever happen)

The Democrats made a number of major mistakes which lead to their loss. The border is just one. There is also all the out-of-control spending for saving the planet and social justice. It is money wasted, and money lost. Federal debt at 36 trillion, and total US debt at 102 trillion. Doubt there is any easy way out of that. It's no wonder we have out of control inflation. Look at all the hate filled anti-American policies we had to deal with the last four years. Look how they handled 1/6. It was sickening. Our weak foreign policy led to the disaster in Afghanistan which emboldened Putin into invading Ukraine. It emboldened Iran, and we now have war in the Middle East. The Open border policy is specifically designed to change the demographics of the country. Their policies were designed to destroy the country. Add on top of all that a corrupt senile figurehead of a President that should never have run for a second term. He shouldn't have had one term, but the powers that be installed him.

Will the RNC continue to remind voters how the Democrats created the problems despite being warned?
Thanks to Governor Abbott for making this an issue, but hope the Trump WH reveals how much the Biden regime spent on those midnight flights, how many were sent, who gave them that authorization. Point out how they pushed people into areas without any input or notice to the local authorities.
How this wasn't just bad messaging by the Democrats but a key and deliberate policy agenda.

Obama was solely behind the border mess. They need to take it up with him.

They didn't fail to handle the border crisis. They instigated it on purpose then tried to deny it existed then said they were powerless to fix it but Republicans could.
Guess what. if they persist to oppose mass deportations they will lose 2028 too.

"Botched" sounds like they think that they just sort of made a tiny mistake in an otherwise great plan.
Bull. They executed a carefully planned and multiprong, prolonged, intentional operation to import 10-15 million ADDITIONAL illegal aliens into the country and made a max effort to get them bogus, but usable, work permit documents so that they could take American jobs and lower blue collar wage scales. This was a fully formed evil, destructive plan, not some small error.
