Republicans eyeing White House go full xenophobic.

Several potential 2024 hopefuls in the Republican Party are pouncing on immigration as a top issue to get an edge in the early jockeying for the next presidential race.

The dynamic was on full display this past week when former President Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), two potential contenders, visited the southern border with roughly two dozen House Republicans in tow. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) also made headlines when they announced they would send police and National Guard troops to the border. And senators eyeing 2024 bids is making hay about a jump in attempted border crossings.

The flood of attention at the border comes as polls show the issue continues to rev up the GOP base - making it impossible to ignore for any Republican with aspirations for higher office.

"I think if you see people who are potentially interested in running, who are taking these positions, who are making it front and center, who are talking about border security in a public way, I think it certainly is a way to help them with Republican primary voters nationwide," said Texas-based GOP strategist Brendan Steinhauser.

1. That's red meat to feed their base which is such a minority that they'll need to rely on their

dirty tricks, as usual.

2. I don't think the Pubs have a problem with immigration per se. They have problem with

immigrants coming from "non-white" populated Countries! That's why the argument that we're all decedents of immigrants doesn't work with them. The Dems should call them out on that every chance they get! Make 2024 a battle of REAL PEOPLE v/s White Supremacists!
