Despite the backlash, the president has defended his strategy to address the record number of arrivals. Biden's opponents have raised concerns about the effectiveness of his approach, questioning whether it will be sufficient to tackle the ongoing border crisis. However, the president has stood firm in his decision and emphasized the importance of implementing measures to manage the situation. The debate over immigration policies continues to be a contentious issue, with both sides offering differing perspectives on how best to address the challenges at the border. As the Biden administration works to implement its plan, the political divide on this issue remains evident.

The Washington DC board of elections has been targeted with harassing messages for allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections. While the city only permits non-citizens to participate in local elections, Republicans have seized on this issue to sow doubt in the election results. One caller left a message for the board of elections on 1 May, expressing outrage at the city's decision to allow non-US citizens to vote in local elections. The caller, who did not identify themselves, angrily questioned the board's authority to let "illegals" vote in the nation's capital. The caller went as far as to label the board members as traitors to their own country.

Despite the city's clear distinction between local and federal elections, the issue has sparked heated debate and criticism. The board of elections, led by executive director Monica Evans, has been on the receiving end of these harassing messages, highlighting the intense emotions and political divisions surrounding the issue of non-citizens voting in local elections.
