Salazar’s border blueprint could reshape Democratic 2028 politics

Ken Salazar, former U.S. ambassador to Mexico, says he grew frustrated with Biden’s border policy, urged a dedicated “border czar,” and argued the administration should label migration as a crisis sooner. After considering a 2024 presidential bid, he instead champions a ‘borderlands’ North American alliance—integrating U.S., Canada, and Mexico on borders and trade—and is using his forthcoming book to steer 2028 Democratic messaging and potential candidates. He has met with several hopefuls to advocate his platform, warning Democrats not to repeat past immigration missteps.

The release appears unfinished (early access feel, limited character customization, no trailer yet), and 2K says the project is a placeholder name for a temporary Borderlands mobile experiment meant to gauge player feedback before any broader push.
