As for national security, both sides are concerned about that.

Riiiight. That's why this is just now becoming an issue 3 years into Biden's Presidency.

This isn't much of a national security issue. People entering US soil and requesting asylum is not a national security issue. The "gotaways" arguably are.

What's the ratio of gotaways to the what we've caught?

Also, living in AZ, I can tell you that Latino folks are not fond of all the attempts to "seal the border". In fact, many (most?) didn't like this bill. You do know that the Hispanic Caucus was completely excluded from the negotiations, yes? Because they weren't going to like giving up anything.

But surveys suggest Biden’s campaign will be an uphill battle: a cluster of polls has former Trump with an edge over Biden in Arizona, and that nationwide, he is losing ground with Latino voters. Nationwide, Biden trails Trump among Hispanic voters, 39% to 34%, according to a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll. That’s a precipitous decline from 2020, when he trounced Trump among that demographic by a two-to-one margin.

Biden got 63% of the Hispanic vote in AZ last time.
