Even flatworms turn away from a small electric shock. Need a Trump cattle prod to start some movement with leftards. Newsom is still pretending he would be a serious candidate in 2028. Hochul moving to the center on immigration, sort of, ;ike she wants to be able to win a national election. Might be tough to get a fake moderate as the actual dem nominee. Still don't think dem Senators and RINOs will get behind real deportation.https://www.powerlineblog.com/archi...als-raising-the-white-flag-on-immigration.php
Are Liberals Raising the White Flag on Immigration?
All of a sudden even liberal politicians, here and abroad, are publicly confessing “concern” about unlimited immigration. Justin Trudeau hopped the first plane to Mar-a-Lago after Trump threatened Canada with 25 percent tariffs if they don’t stop bad actors from exploiting our northern border. (A 25% tariff on Canada would have a significant impact on Canada’s economy.) But before departing Trudeau posted this:
Over in Britain, Prime Minister Kier Starmer, whose public approval rating has sunk fastest ever for a new PM as more than 1 million migrants have decamped to Britain in the last year, is starting to feel the heat:
And here in the U.S., while some Democratic strongholds like Denver say they won’t cooperate with Trump’s deportation plans, some Democrats are breaking ranks:
Meanwhile, more Democrats are coming forward to say, “Boy, Biden really blew it.”
The election may have shaken the left’s premise, however, as Michael Barone argues in the Wall Street Journal yesterday:

Of course, admitting “political malpractice” is not the same as admitting that allowing millions of migrants across the border is a bad idea in itself. The Labour Party in Britain under Tony Blair deliberately increased immigration on the view that it would help the Labour Party, just as Democrats believe that more immigration to the U.S. will turn the entire country into California. Don’t believe these tidings. The left is just beating a strategic retreat until it can resume its attempt to engineer a new electorate.
