Senator Chris Murphy is actively encouraging the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden to "go on the offense" on immigration and border control. He believes that by focusing on these issues, particularly illegal immigration, ahead of the November elections, the party can gain a strategic advantage. Murphy's call to action comes after a bipartisan border deal he was involved in was rejected by Republicans, a move he criticizes heavily. He accuses the Republicans of preferring a chaotic border situation for political gain, specifically pointing out that they seem uninterested in genuine reform or coming to the negotiation table. This stance is contrasted with Murphy's assertion that the Democrats are the only party capable of effectively securing the border, despite widespread public dissatisfaction with how the Biden administration has handled border issues.
