It is surprising how quickly support for Trump's deportation policy has lost support among voters. The Post-Ipsos-ABC poll shows that only 26% of voters support keeping Abrigo-Garcia in the Salvadoran prison. It looks like the importance of habeas corpus is both understood and supported as a foundational right in the United States.
Many swing voters are making a distinction between a secure southern border (+++) and a mass deportation policy that violates individual rights to due process (----). Part of Trump's appeal has been hyping the threat of caravans of immigrants invading the U.S. However, the anti-immigrant bias for people inside the United States is not so strong, as can be seen in the support for immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado.
The labeling of open borders as a so-called “Left” position is runs counter to the history of the organized Left in fundamental ways. Open borders has long been a rallying cry of the business and free market Right. Drawing from neoclassical economists, these groups have advocated for liberalizing migration on the grounds of market rationality and economic freedom. They oppose limits on migration for the same reasons that they oppose restrictions on the movement of capital. The Koch-funded Cato Institute, which also advocates lifting legal restrictions on child labor, has advocated for open borders for decades, arguing that support for open borders is a fundamental tenet of libertarianism.
I support the bipartisan Lankford immigration reform bill. It may not be perfect but it did make major adjustment to asylum processing which admittedly was abused after the pandemic. The Trump mass deportation policy is already failing and is not supported by the majority of voters. That said, we can expect die-hard MAGAheads to continue to post scare stories about immigrants. Fortunately, fewer people are influenced.
The Liberal Patriot has an inadequate moderation policy. You apparently allow semi-anonymous posters to make ad hominem attack on other posters. You are on a downward cycle if you don't get a better handle on trolls.
Whether AOC can win a national election, I haven't a clue but she is the authentic voice of the Democratic Party base, now that Bernie has passed the torch. She is not a populist as I understand the term but a leftist who brands herself a democratic socialist. Potential left populist or center left leaders seem cowed by the left.
I used to love AOC until she came out against FOSTA, and it was all downhill from there. She presents as someone who "cares" about the working class but spends most of her time pandering to the Boutique Left and their asinine social issues. Good American jobs; secure borders; parental rights; the sane acknowledgment of biology; the equal condemnation of far right and far left racism; a public option for healthcare coverage; zoning and regulatory changes to promote more affordable housing - when AOC or any Democrat supports those things, they will get my vote again. For now, I'm still glad I voted for the Orange lunatic. We'll see what 2028 brings.

How is the support for Oscar Eduardo Ortega Anguiano?

Advocating for 'fixing' immigration does NOT equate to the Dem position of opening the floodgates. Nice try.

Ed says "Oh well, a couple of kids were murdered." Do you have children Ed? Supporting this is sick.
Not a populist-era, but a Fascist era.
