House Democrats fear Biden's open borders policies

 AP:

In some of the closest House races in the country, Democratic candidates are leaning into an issue that Republicans have made a centerpiece of their efforts to expand their majority — immigration.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, says that anyone who crosses the border must do so legally. “I voted to hire more than 10,000 new border guards, penalize businesses that hire people here illegally and lock up anyone bringing fentanyl into our country,” she says.

Rep. Yadira Caraveo, D-Colo., relies on a local sheriff to make the case: “Yadira Caraveo knows how broken immigration is — just like we do. It’s why she worked with Republicans to fund over 20,000 Border Patrol agents and crack down on cartels.”

And Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., tells viewers he’s been to the border three times to see for himself what’s needed and that’s why he was working with both parties to hire new Border Patrol agents and beef up screening for fentanyl. “It’s one thing to talk a big game. It’s another to act, to do something,” he says.
...

Every House Democrat last year voted against the House GOP’s sweeping crackdown on immigration that included more border wall and new restrictions on asylum seekers The vote opened House Democrats to fresh criticism on an issue that about half of voters consider one of the most important going into the November election.

The Democratic ads clearly look to demonstrate support for narrower border security legislation to show they hear the voters’ concerns. Polling shows more adults wanting to see a decrease in immigration into the U.S., with a Gallup poll this summer showing Republicans, Democrats and independents all significantly more likely than a year ago to favor less immigration.
...

The Democrats opened the borders thinking it would help them get a permanent majority, but now they are dealing with the blowback against what they have done.  They have let in between ten and twenty million illegals some of which are trying to illegally vote in US elections.  I see it as another reason to vote against Democrats.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
