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.
“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. That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around.”
A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years” that a porous border “would overburden cities and alienate working class people — and they did not listen.”
A House Democratic source suggested to The Post that the only way forward would be for party bosses “to get back to basics and simply admit to the American people ‘crime and illegal immigration are bad.'”
Trump campaigned on launching a mass-deportation effort, though he emphasized that his first targets would be those convicted of crimes — an initiative that polling showed a majority of Hispanic voters support.

Starmer said it was an open border experiment that failed while blaming it on Brexit.
Don’t tell them it was also:
Crime
Inflation
Wars
You arseholes didn’t destroy yourselves. YOU DESTROYED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SUPPORTING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 50 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS IN NOT SUSTAINABLE FOREVER. America is sunk.
The Dems also started World War T.

Biden destroyed the border intentionally, according to Trump’s pick for the new border czar. Probably just out of spite, because Biden is such a spiteful and stupidly arrogant person.
“We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable”
BS BS BS...what he really wanted to say is “We couldn’t get enough of these illegales to vote. We filled out their voter registration cards for them, we filled out their ballots for them, but we couldn’t deliver those ‘votes.’ Those rascally Republicans were onto our tricks, used the courts against us (they used OUR dirty tricks!), and shut us down almost everywhere we tried to cheat.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years”
I don’t recall his warning. Maybe he didn’t say it.
Those scummy traitors would still be complicit had the rats won.
I really hate those people. Their actions caused deaths and life destruction, yet all they see it as is an "issue".
When are they going to admit they didn’t just botch their election chances by proactively pulling in millions and millions of illegals, but they botched the country as well?
Only because they don’t think they got enough illegal aliens across in the short time they had.
RE: We destroyed ourselves.
Metaphorically.
Symbolically.
Let’s see the real thing, Dems.
Yes. I saw that. But what the heck kind of ‘experiment’ was that ?
Let’s play ruin your country time.
These so called leaders of countries are either stupid beyond belief or getting kickbacks.
I could believe either thing.
Yeah, Mayor Adams warned them and, for his trouble, the Biden Regime had the DOJ indict him.
<< Harris, 60, touted herself as a “border-state prosecutor” and lashed out at congressional Republicans for not cooperating to pass a sweeping immigration package >>
A package that, if passed, would’ve codified the invasion of our country at levels very close to what we’ve seen over the past 4 years. Thankfully most of the electorate understood that, despite the media propaganda.
There is no way out for the Dems except splitting into two or more parties.
If they admit the males in women’s sports and women’s restrooms are wrong, and Israel has a right to exist, people should have freedom to buy gas cars and use air conditioners and stoves as they wish and people should be allowed freedom of speech to inquire about vax details and to criticize election fraudsters then they lose half their supporters.
If they push hard for Bernie Sanders and the Squad socialism to tear down America and our freedoms then they lose the voters who went for Trump this time.
