First, one should separate the two issues in terms of existential threats to the USA vs. political liabilities to elected officials. IMHO, our functionally unregulated southern border offers a greater and more measurable existential threat to the USA than the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. It is difficult to quantify and qualify the existential threat imparted by the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan because it has a myriad of international affairs and diplomacy implications. Afghanistan may be a huge political threat to the Ds, though. It is not hard to quantify or qualify the threat of utterly abandoning immigration laws. Whether voters realize the southern border could be the undoing of the USA, or not, is another question. GOP could have fixed immigration laws when they were in control of Congress and the White House, and they chose not to, which reinforces that on some issues, the political parties are two wings of the same bird.

These policy and performance issues are all subject to polling, and whichever polls the highest (as in the issues that is most damaging to a candidate), are the issue that will be the biggest in the election, because that is where the dollars will be directed. This is the science part of political science.

So a criminal cartel expands it business plan to smuggle children as well as drugs into the country through an open border and someone is surprised that nearly 40% of the “vetted sponsors” cannot be reached for follow up on the kids?
