Steven Nelson writes for the New York Post about an interesting admission from Democrats scrutinizing recent election results.

Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024.

“We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.

“We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here. That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around.”

A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years” that a porous border “would overburden cities and alienate working class people — and they did not listen.”

A House Democratic source suggested to The Post that the only way forward would be for party bosses “to get back to basics and simply admit to the American people ‘crime and illegal immigration are bad.’”

Trump campaigned on launching a mass-deportation effort, though he emphasized that his first targets would be those convicted of crimes — an initiative that polling showed a majority of Hispanic voters support.

Harris, 60, touted herself as a “border-state prosecutor” and lashed out at congressional Republicans for not cooperating to pass a sweeping immigration package that five Senate Democrats also helped torpedo — while resisting questions about her past support for decriminalizing border crossings and providing taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgeries to incarcerated migrants.

The Republican ultimately carried heavily Hispanic areas of South Texas and South Florida and made massive gains in Democratic strongholds such as New York.
