After the election, some Democrats suggested that the party might want to back away from crazy and unpopular policies like opening up the border and the prisons. But that obviously wasn’t going to happen.

Instead, Dems keep talking about pivoting from the policies that everyone hates, like having the country overrun with criminals and illegal aliens, but what they really mean is they’re doubling down on them.

Consider this Axios story about how the Democrats are pivoting away from open borders… with more open borders.

Senate Democrats were given a blunt message in a private briefing on Wednesday about the urgent need to overhaul their immigration agenda.

Democrats were told that former President Biden’s failure to control the border drove voters to support Trump’s vision for immigration, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

The lawmakers were encouraged to ditch their longtime message of “comprehensive immigration reform.”

Senate Democrats were briefed by Andrea Flores, a top staffer with the bipartisan FWD.us political organization, at their policy retreat in Virginia.

There’s nothing bipartisan about FWD.us. It’s not just pro-illegal aliens, but also pro-crime. (Why settle for one horrible policy when you can have two?)

FWD.us is currently advocating for in-state tuition for illegal aliens, freeing as many criminals as possible so they can terrorize our communities and more open borders.

Their entire agenda, right down to the Mark Zuckerberg sponsorship, is like a capsule of the second half of the last decade. It’s a time capsule of the conditions that wrecked America from 2014 through 2024 and convinced Americans to bring back Trump.

Flores’ views on open borders were so bad that she left the Biden administration in protest of it being insufficiently open borders.

“During the next seven months, Flores orchestrated a process that allowed thirteen thousand migrants, many of whom had spent the better part of two years in makeshift encampments, to enter the U.S.”

Flores claimed that hiring border patrol officers demonstrated that “you have a pretty racialized view of the border.”

The U.N.’s refugee agency, U.N.H.C.R., helped the Administration find a church where dozens of migrants whose cases had been closed could wait while the Matamoros camp was emptied. ICE reopened their cases, and weeks later almost all of them were brought across the border. Flores said, “It was exactly what I hoped to do in my career, the type of intense collaboration between a border community and the federal government.”

This is who Senate Dems are listening to? And this is what Axios is trying to spin as a pivot on the border. It’s a 360-degree pivot right back to where Dems started. And, considering they’re being briefed by a woman who thought the most open borders administration in history wasn’t open borders enough, they may be heading to an even more extreme open borders position.

They’ve learned nothing.
