Two border Dems decide to not seek re-election in 2022 amid border surge

They probably see the writing on the wall that the Republicans are one looking to pick these seats up in the upcoming midterms and secondly they have probably seen polling showing how they aren't likely to win and lastly the people in their district probably aren't too happy about what's going on, as Democratic mayors along the border aren't very happy.

The party knows that they are unlikely to win and are attempting to run fresh faces that can't be blamed for the current crisis, hoping no one realizes that they would have made the same choices. There is only so much dirt that can be swept under the rug before the room requires a true cleaning.

Abandon ship we have been hit by a torpedo name the Biden you know the old saying the nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm from the government and I'm here to help

Border traffic has been increasing for 9 months according to the border patrols own graph. Stop lying cultists. The Trump administration did nothing this whole time to help.

Joe Biden caused this the Democrats are totally incompetent thats what happens when you have a fraudulent government

I wonder if there’s going to be a scandal that breaks about them soon or something. It seems that would be likely in this scenario

Letting the immigrants pile up rather than helping them become citizens is stupid.

Can't say I blame them

Rats from a sinking ship.

Typical Help create a problem, then run for cover

I wonder if they saw the light and are defecting to the Republican side keep an eye out for them

Hope the Republicans dont screw 2022 up.

Here is the Democrat-Republican swing from 2016 to 2020. Notice the border counties. And also understand that the Texas border counties are largely composed of Mexican Americans. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/U.S._2016_to_2020_presidential_election_swing.svg/1200px-U.S._2016_to_2020_presidential_election_swing.svg.png
