Man, as I outlined in another comment, Republicans already own Florida, and it's only getting worse. Florida is lost for a decade or more. If there was ever a time when we don't need to worry about pissing off Floridan voting blocs, it's now.
I agree Florida is probably a lost cause, but making a policy decision based on that alone isn’t how you win the game American politicians are forced to play.
“What would turn red?”, is one question that must be asked, and assuming Florida is a lost cause, the answer may well be “nothing”. But an equally important question is, “What would turn blue?”, and unfortunately, I would guess the answer is also “nothing”. Conservative Texans would be stoked to get help from Mexico at the border, but they’re not gonna vote for Biden over it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if being “soft on Cuba” is still a losing position among several Dem bases, especially older neoliberals.
Relief from immigration pressure would reduce the validity of complaints about the 'migrant crush', which might improve numbers amongst 'swing voters', and the end of the dispute with Cuba would be positive for the Biden administration's foreign policy efforts, considering that our position on Cuba is still deeply unpopular internationally.
