The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent is frustrated with the current state of the immigration debate in Washington. “When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent planeloads of immigrants to Massachusetts in the fall, it received an extraordinary amount of coverage,” Sargent writes.

“DeSantis and other Republicans often set the frame of our national argument over immigration,” Sargent continued. “Democrats badly need to seize control of it on their own terms. Here’s one idea: Democrats should find ways to elevate the voices of lawmakers from Southwestern and border states on this issue.”
