My latest New York Post column looks at the lessons of the Laken Riley Act:

Democrats aren’t very good at learning lessons. But there are some things even they can figure out. One lesson that seems to have sunk in for most of the party’s elected officials is that its insane immigration positions were a giant self-inflicted wound that sank them at the polls in 2024…New supporters included Ritchie Torres of The Bronx, upstate Democrat Joseph Morelle, and two southern Democrats from majority-black districts, Lucy McBath of Georgia and Terri Sewell of Alabama…Seven of the 11 Democratic senators up for re-election in 2026 voted to advance the bill, including Jon Ossoff of Georgia, Gary Peters of Michigan, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Warner of Virginia, John Hickenlooper of Colorado and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico…Every Hispanic senator voted yes.
