On Monday's broadcast of CNN's "Inside Politics," CNN Senior White House Correspondent MJ Lee stated that Democrats know they have to act on the border due to the surge of migrants, "but what they want to maintain is this idea that they are the party that supports humane policies, that they are compassionate, but I think getting to those policies is sort of the existential question that is so, so challenging" and "the juggling act for Democrats right now is that they sort of want the thing that they publicly say or have said they are not for."
