A former top lawyer for House Judiciary Committee Democrats said Monday that his party’s “elites” were “out of touch” on the border and that President Joe Biden needed to make “a major course correction” ahead of November.
Illegal immigration has become a major issue in the 2024 presidential campaign, and Biden is facing mounting criticism over his handling of the border as he trails Trump by 1.8% in a head-to-head matchup, according to the RealClearPolling average. Julian Epstein, former chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, warned Democrats were ignoring “a strong majority” of Americans on the border issue.

“I think that Democratic elites are out of touch with the public on the question of immigration,” Epstein told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “Americans are for legal immigration, Americans are very much against illegal immigration. If you look at the polling on this, New York Times and Pew and you’re just going down the line with multiple polls, 70 to 80% of the American public disapprove of Biden’s immigration policies, what has effectively been open borders.”
