The concerns of Asian Americans play more to Republican strengths than to Democrats', writes opinion contributor Hilary Stockton. "That could be a problem for Joe Biden come November." |

Immigration. Crime. Racial preferences in higher education. The Democrats' positions on these and other core issues have pushed Asian Americans to the right, says Stockton. Living in ultra progressive San Francisco, where homeless encampments greet her son as he enters school and drug users sometimes lie prone on the sidewalks, Stockton has had enough. And she's not alone: Eighty percent of the city's Asian American residents disapprove of the Democratic mayor's job performance. There are roughly 24 million Asian Americans, and they make up the nation's fastest growing voting bloc, she notes. "In 2024, about 15 million Asian-Americans are eligible voters, about 6.1 percent of all eligible voters, up from about 5 percent in 2020." Asian American turnout is increasing, especially in swing states such as Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina. "Asian American voters in 2024 are increasingly engaged in politics," Stockton concludes. And an increasing number of them feel Democrats and liberal institutions have failed them. Read the op-ed at TheHill.com. |

By Hadar Susskind, president and CEO of Americans for Peace Now |
"Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?" That famous Marxism (Groucho, not Karl) has never been more relevant than to the question of Israeli compliance with U.S. and international law. Will Americans believe their own eyes, or Israel's government? |

There is evidence that Trump's efforts to gain control of the border and immigration led to the dramatic decrease in undocumented criminals arrested over his last three years in office. Biden's decision to end the Trump policies and effectively open the borders likely led to the significant increase of illegal immigrants — and of criminals. |
