Democrats Shift Strategy on Border Enforcement in Response to Republican Opposition

Democrats are seizing on the collapse of a bipartisan Senate border proposal, seeing it as an opportunity to shift the narrative on border enforcement and tie GOP candidates to Trump. Despite the political risk, they plan to remind voters of the deal's failure and are considering adding border security measures to a foreign aid and national security package. Republicans blame Biden for the surge in illegal border crossings and argue that the Senate bill wouldn't have been sufficient. The issue is shaping the policy debate over immigration, with Democrats aiming to neutralize the GOP's advantage on the border and swing voters being a crucial target in the upcoming elections.
