The premise of this all other similar stories that appear daily in the NYT, the Boston Globe, WaPo, etc is that people will believe there is something WRONG with enforcing our laws and that people who are living her in open defiance of our laws are somehow in the right.
I think this is a disaster for the Democrats, and they should be encouraged to push these stories as long and as hard as they can - because it’s killing them.
Even people who are sympathetic to those whose lives are being disrupted will, at the end of the day, say, “you broke the law, you have to go”.
