Yes, the Democratic Party has to move away from the left, otherwise their views are out of touch with most Americans. Jason Crow might be a good Democratic Presidential candidate.
Remember, Governor Abbot of Texas was busing illegal migrants to sanctuary cities because there were so many. If an open border policy is to the right, what would be a leftist policy?
It would also place new limitations on asylum — a protection sought by many migrants who claim they are fleeing persecution or danger. Gallego’s plan would raise the standard to obtain asylum protections — which is something also sought by Republicans, who argue the protections should be harder to gain.
The Democrats should have removed senile Biden earlier. The result was that there was no time for Democrats to choose a candidate. Kamala Harris was chosen without having to compete with other candidates.
In late March, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance to the Pentagon. According to the guidance, as quoted by The Washington Post, “China is the Department’s sole pacing threat, and denial of a Chinese fait accompli seizure of Taiwan — while simultaneously defending the U.S. homeland is the Department’s sole pacing scenario.” The Pentagon is instructed, per the report, to plan only for contingencies with China.
Given the trends in the new administration, none of this is surprising, but it is shocking.
The document is a blueprint for geopolitical malpractice. The guidance’s identification of China as a major security threat, and thus a priority, is appropriate. But the prescribed downgrading of American commitments in Europe and the Middle East is a recipe for global instability, including in Asia. Violent conflagrations will follow.
Trump should hit the reset button and start over. All tariffs should be removed except those protecting strategic industries. He should begin negotiating with countries he thinks has wronged the US before imposing tariffs on them.
