After the chaotic first debate between President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden, much of the focus was on Trump repeatedly interrupting his opponent. But another conversation came into public view on Twitter as well: Where were the immigration questions?

But it also may no longer be the cudgel it once was for the president, Acevedo said, with the majority of voters supporting immigration reform, rejecting family separation, and understanding its value for the nation at a time when essential workers are putting their lives at risk.

Other Democrats and immigration advocates arrive at the same place about the lack of immigration discourse but in a different way.Immigration was litigated heavily during the Democratic primary, they say, pointing to Julian Castro mainstreaming the idea of decriminalizing border crossings—a position Biden never supported—which led to criticism of his centrist approach to immigration during the primary, but left him better-positioned to deal with Trump in the fall.

That means there is enough pertinent news to lead into immigration questions from debate moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News, whose topics include"national security," which some expect could include immigration. Ali Noorani, president of the nonpartisan National Immigration Forum, which has worked with faith, law enforcement, and business groups on immigration reform, said the way in for Biden is messaging on how immigrants strengthen the economy even amid the pandemic.

The scientists, the CDC, the WHO, even Fauci have all flip flopped and changed position on covid 19 half a dozen times or more regarding masks, lock downs and therapeutics and those are the folks Biden trusts? Trump will go to jail after he loses! NYC and FBI for fraud and tax evasion and also a dozen women for sexual harassment/abuse law suits. Maybe he’ll figure out how to pardon himself and his kids? Too sad for history but he did it to himself.
