Using the Minneapolis violence to push immigration reform

USING THE MINNEAPOLIS VIOLENCE TO PUSH IMMIGRATION REFORM. “Comprehensive immigration reform” has failed several times in Congress. The issue is too fraught, too complex, and the parties are too far apart for a fundamentally divided House and Senate to pass far-reaching legislation. 

Nevertheless, calling for “comprehensive immigration reform” remains a safe strategy whenever immigration becomes a hot topic. For example, when the public finally caught on to the fact that President Joe Biden had set off a huge rush of millions of illegal immigrants, Democrats ran for political cover. Rather than demand that Biden close the border, which they didn’t want to do and would also anger their activist groups, Democrats instead called for “comprehensive immigration reform,” which made them sound like they wanted to address the problem.”
