could very well press

Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, warned that
a deepening immigration crisis would pose
a serious challenge for the Biden administration.
Fair or unfair, anything that
highlights the immigration
crisis is a net negative
for Biden at the moment, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
To the extent that the tragedy
in Haiti puts a new refugee story
in the headlines, it will only make
the immigration issue more
salient for American voters. , Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
At the same time, Biden's
hands will no doubt be tied
by progressive groups who
will insist that the White House
not repatriate refugees back to
Haiti given the huge political
instability in the country, Thomas Gift, the head of the Centre on U.S. Politics
at University College London, via 'Newsweek'.
According to a Monmouth University survey,
84% of voters in the U.S. consider illegal
immigration a "serious" or "very serious" issue.
