(AP) — Republicans still divided over former President Donald Trump’s legacy are seizing on his signature campaign issue: immigration.
The GOP is leaning in on the highly charged issue amid a spike in border crossing that are straining U.S. facilities. They are blaming Biden for rolling back many of Trump’s hard-line policies and taking a kinder tone.
The push comes as Republicans contend with President Joe Biden’s early popularity, good news about vaccinations, and Americans’ embrace of the COVID-19 relief bill that they opposed. It’s an issue that some believe could help unite the party as they head into the 2022 midterm elections.
