Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has outlined the Democratic Party’s approach to immigration and its evolving identity amidst growing internal divisions. During a conversation, Khanna emphasized that most of the 20 million immigrants who arrived under the Biden administration will be allowed to stay, while the party may adopt stricter border security measures to address voter concerns. This stance reflects a strategic shift to balance progressive ideals with the need to secure electoral support. Khanna’s vision for the economy draws from the New Deal era, advocating for initiatives like universal childcare and Medicare for all, which he frames as essential for national prosperity.
