Beto O&#8217;Rourke criticized President Joe Biden&#8217;s policy on the southern border, specifically with regard to the asylum process, and warned it could hurt him in the 2024 election. <\/p>\n<p> O&#8217;Rourke, speaking at the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School on Thursday, railed against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-judge-in-texas-border-county-implores-biden-to-visit-before-suspending-title-42\/\" title=\"Democrat Judge in Texas Border County Implores Biden to Visit Before Suspending Title 42\">current border policy<\/a>. The Texas Democrat claimed that while Biden is doing better than former President Donald Trump, who he claimed was &#8220;inspiring&#8221; acts of &#8220;terror&#8221; with his policy, the president is &#8220;really failing us&#8221; in various aspects of his strategy at the border. <\/p>\n<p> WHO\u2019S IN AND WHO\u2019S OUT: HERE\u2019S THE SENATE STATE OF PLAY FOR 2024 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And on some counts, Biden has been successful; the rhetoric, it&#8217;s night and day against Donald Trump. Biden&#8217;s not inspiring, I don&#8217;t think, any acts of political terror or the kind of slaughter that we saw in El Paso. And yet, on other counts, he&#8217;s really failing us,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke said. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The asylum ban that we see that makes it so hard for people to lawfully, safely, and in an orderly fashion come to this country when they cannot stay in their own. Because why the hell else would you travel 2000 miles, the length of this continent, much of it on foot, some of it atop, not inside, of a train, called the beast \u2014 La Bestia \u2014 acing rape, torture, you know, kidnapping by these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackburn-cartels-traffickers-exploiting-unfinished-border-wall-construction\/\" title=\"Blackburn: Cartels, Traffickers Exploiting Unfinished Border Wall Construction\">transnational criminal organizations<\/a>, only to come to the most heavily militarized border probably anywhere in this hemisphere, if not this planet where you risk your life. And more migrants have died this year than any year on record,&#8221; he continued. <\/p>\n<p> O\u2019Rourke, who lost in the 2018 Texas Senate election against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the 2022 Texas gubernatorial election against Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), also warned that Biden&#8217;s policy could hurt his appeal with young voters next year. He brought up recent unfavorable polling in a hypothetical rematch between Biden and Trump in 2024. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This is critical if you want to win in 2024. It is no secret that Democratic voters are unexcited about Biden \u2014 that&#8217;s putting it politely. It is no secret, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">poll<\/a> that we just read,&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke said. &#8220;The young voters especially are leaving his banner in droves. Now will they vote for Donald Trump? Will they vote for RFK Jr? Will they not vote at all? I don&#8217;t know. But let&#8217;s give them a reason to vote for the president.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Something bold, something big, something that matches the rhetoric that he used in 2020 and inspires voters in 2024 is what&#8217;s needed right now,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n<p> The New York Times-Siena College poll O&#8217;Rourke referenced, which was released last weekend, showed Trump leading Biden in five of six swing states just a year from the presidential election. The survey, taken from Oct. 22 to Nov. 3, shows Trump up 52% to 41% in Nevada, 49% to 43% in Georgia, 49% to 44% in Arizona, 48% to 43% in Michigan, and 48% to 44% in Pennsylvania. The poll showed Biden leading Trump 47% to 45% in Wisconsin. <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> Biden&#8217;s border policy, along with his decisions on the Israel-Hamas war, is causing uproar from the left wing of his party and could complicate his 2024 reelection bid in what is expected to be a tight presidential race. <\/p>\n<p>When confronted about recent bad polling on Thursday, Biden pointed to other polls that show him ahead of Trump in key contests and nationally while also saying, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t,&#8221; when directly asked if he thinks he is trailing in swing states.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does O&#8217;Rourke believe the\u200b asylum ban implemented by\u2063 the Biden administration will impact those fleeing violence and persecution?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  You&#8217;re just going to\u200d be \u200cturned away anyway?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Rourke criticized the asylum ban\u2064 put in place by the \u200bBiden administration, stating that it makes it incredibly difficult for \u2062people who are fleeing violence \u2063and persecution \u200cin \u2064their \u2063home countries to seek safety \u2062and refuge in the\u200c United States. He argued that if the administration continues to \u200denforce this ban, it could have serious consequences for President \u2063Biden in the next election.<\/p>\n<p>The former Texas representative highlighted the \u2063extreme risks that \u200dmigrants\u2064 face on their journey to the US-Mexico border. He \u2063spoke of the treacherous conditions they endure, including the threat of rape, torture, and kidnapping by transnational criminal organizations. O&#8217;Rourke emphasized that these individuals are \u2064desperate for safety and are willing to travel thousands of miles, \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/beto-orourke-says-biden-is-really-failing-us-and-democratic-voters-are-unexcited\/\" title=\"Beto O'Rourke says Biden is 'really failing us' and 'Democratic voters are unexcited'\">enduring unimaginable \u2063hardships<\/a>, just for the chance to seek \u200casylum in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200bhe pointed out the militarization of the\u200c southern\u200b border, describing it \u2063as one of the most heavily fortified borders in the hemisphere, if not the entire planet. O&#8217;Rourke questioned the logic of\u200d having such a heavily defended border if \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-plan-to-allow-immigration-benefits-for-terror-supporters-raises-a-lot-of-questions\/\" title=\"Biden Plan to Allow Immigration Benefits for Terror Supporters Raises a Lot of Questions\">individuals seeking asylum<\/a>\u2062 are \u2064just \u200dgoing to be turned away. He argued that instead of focusing on fortifying \u200dthe border, the administration should prioritize\u200b improving the asylum process\u200d and providing a safer and\u200b more orderly\u2063 path for individuals to seek refuge.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s\u2063 criticism of President Biden&#8217;s border policy is significant coming from a former\u2064 Democratic representative \u200cfrom Texas. Texas shares a\u200c significant portion of its border with Mexico\u200d and has been at the forefront of immigration debates in recent years. O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s concerns reflect the growing frustration within the Democratic \u200cParty over the handling of the \u200cborder issue.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d former congressman warned\u200d that if President Biden\u2062 does not address\u2064 these concerns, it could have negative repercussions \u200bfor his reelection prospects in \u20632024. O&#8217;Rourke argued \u200cthat the Democratic Party cannot afford to ignore the issue of immigration and \u200bmust take concrete steps to reform the asylum process and\u2062 address the humanitarian \u200dcrisis at the border.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Beto \u2062O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s\u200c criticism \u200dof President\u2063 Joe Biden&#8217;s policy \u2063on the southern border, particularly with regards to the asylum process, highlights the growing concerns within the\u2064 Democratic Party. O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s warning that this policy may harm\u200d President Biden in the \u20632024 election underscores the urgency for the administration to\u2062 address the issues at hand. The Democrat calls for a more \u2062compassionate and orderly approach to immigration, emphasizing the \u2063need to provide safety and refuge to those fleeing violence\u2062 and persecution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Democratic Texas Rep.
