Trump's border policies defuse immigration issue for Democrats

The issue of immigration, once a significant liability for the Democratic Party, has become less salient due to decreased border crossings under the Trump administration. This shift has eased pressure on Democrats ahead of midterm elections, allowing them to focus on other pressing concerns like the economy and global affairs. Despite Trump's focus on immigration, his approval ratings on the issue remain negative, and a majority of Americans believe his administration has been too harsh, suggesting a potential political advantage for Democrats.
