Salazar: Biden woke up too late on border crisis, pushes Borderlands Platform

Former U.S. ambassador to Mexico and ex-Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the Biden administration woke up too late to address the border crisis, criticizing its neglect of Mexico and the Western Hemisphere, lack of urgency, planning, and a coherent communications strategy. He argues this allowed Trump to capitalize on the issue and outlines a Borderlands Platform—advocating a border/migration czar and a New American Alliance with Mexico and Canada, plus renewed USMCA—to treat immigration as both a national security and economic priority.

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.
