In a recent interview on “NewsNation Now,” former acting ICE Director John Sandweg, who worked in the Obama administration, made some interesting predictions about President Joe Biden’s border policy. Sandweg suggested that as the 2024 election approaches, Biden will likely shift his approach to the border. According to Sandweg, Biden is “banking on this idea that, hey, this border’s now becoming a problem,” especially as “Democratic mayors in New York and governors in California” have been “complaining about the burden that these migrants” are placing on their communities.

When asked about the administration’s potential change in approach as the election draws nearer, Sandweg expressed his belief that the administration will indeed make adjustments. He pointed to Senate negotiations and the opposition from immigration advocacy groups as indicators that the White House may be willing to pivot on its border policy. Sandweg emphasized that the administration is likely aware that the current situation at the border is unsustainable and in need of control.
Sandweg’s analysis that the Biden administration may be feeling the pressure to address the growing concerns about border security and the impact of illegal immigration on local communities. With the 2024 election in sight, it seems that political calculations and public opinion may compel the administration to reconsider its approach to the border. As the situation continues to evolve, it will be important to monitor how the administration responds to these challenges on the border.
