    • Former Democrat Representative for Texas 16th congressional district Beto O’Rourke tweeted that the ruling was “the right decision”.
    • Both immigration advocates and those calling for stricter guidelines have attacked the Biden administration’s immigration policy since the president took office.
    • Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tasked with finding a solution to the border crisis, has been the subject of much Republican criticism.
    • Whether the supreme court upholds the San Francisco ruling or not, the White House seems to be in a no-win position.

Immigration attitudes

    • Inflation (65%), affordable healthcare (64%) and partisanship (61%) are thought by all parties as the top national problems and outweigh illegal immigration (47%).
    • The border crisis is unlikely to cost Biden the election, but it will remain a thorn in the administration’s side beyond 2024.
