"The Democratic Party’s approach to the U.S.-Mexico border has fundamentally shifted, as was illustrated most clearly at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. While the 2020 convention was sprinkled with condemnations of the Trump administration’s border restrictions, the former president’s immigration record was invoked at this year’s convention primarily to condemn him for sabotaging a bipartisan Senate border security bill.
