Al-Juburi at RAICES, the immigrant rights group in Texas, said in a statement that Biden “embraced the toughest set of border security reforms we’ve ever seen in this country, formally adopting a more radical anti-immigrant position” in his speech.
“He succumbed to the pressures of a political climate that is increasingly hostile towards immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking people and families.”
The National Immigration Law Center also said Biden “missed an opportunity to distinguish himself” from Trump on immigration.
“Instead, he doubled down on the Senate’s failed border bill & parroted dehumanizing Republican rhetoric about immigrants,” the group said on social media, referring to the State of the Union. “We urge the President to do better.”

As a Democrat, I think that immigration is a huge issue and that it needs to be dealt with. I take no issue with the word illegal. If somebody is here without documentation, they are here illegally.
If the Democratic Party doesn’t want to lose this election cycle, this is an issue they need to be more center than left.

Is that the same Joaquin Castro who said he'd open the border during the Dem debates in 2020?
If so I'd say this represents one person from pretty far left sliver of the party - and not "DEMS BIG MAD OVER UNFORTUNATE WORD CHOICE"

Wasn't Speaker Johnson supposed to say something before Biden started his speech? Like a welcome President line or does the Speaker typically not say anything. And, Johnson seemed not too sure what to do or when to clap, many times he was in a "should I smile now" kinda moment.

Biden knows how to win as we saw in 2020. He is no good to anyone if he doesn't win the election.

That’s not what he was doing. They aren’t elected. He was saying they basically dated women to come out to vote to protect abortion rights at the ballot box since the constitution doesn’t do it anymore. So let’s step up and show them that we’ll do that. Women in some states have already done it and we need to do it on a national level to avoid a 12 week national ban (or worse).
Women are furious at SCOTUS for their dismissal of our rights. We are coming for our rights. If that means we will vote in democratic presidents until we have some appointed justices that have respect for women, so be it.

Well you are in the tiny minority of people that actually think that, but feel free to go off.
Actually outside the liberal echo chamber of DCUM, most people think that SOTU address was pathetic. Please expand your aperture of information gathering.
The post-speech snap polling grossly disagrees with you.
Yep. With a sample of 529 people via text.
He impressed. Yes he did. The GOP looked like a bunch of sullen do nothing's.
