I don't think it's surprising, I don't think the Democratic Party really means to be as lax on border issues as the Republicans make them out to be. They want more liberal immigration policies, and are willing to give illegals who were brought here as kids a path to citizenship, but that is different than letting just anyone go over the border, today.
It's not so much of a shift as it is we've all gotten used to the Republican narrative on this, this "open borders" stuff. I don't think a single Democrat wants to take all the migrants that can come right now. But Democratx want to treat them like humans while we figure out what to do with them. Bit that's too radical for most Republicans, I guess.
There were more deportations from the Obama administration than both the Trump and Bush Admins. Clinton deported more people than any president before him back to Grover Cleveland. Obama had over a million more people deported in the 8 years he was in office than Bush had in his 8 Years. The bs right wing talking points are easily proven false and there is plenty of evidence to prove them false but once the idiots hear something they latch on to it and believe it no matter what. The only difference between right wing immigration policies and left wing immigration policies is the left wing tries to treat immigrants like human beings and is easier on those seeking asylum.
Funny I just reread your comment and saw you mentioned something about treating people like humans I agree and that's my point also.
left wing tries to treat immigrants like human beings
Is that why Obama/Biden built the cages for kids? And why immigrants this last summer were were subjected to inhumane heat in Texas and Arizona, many days exceeding 120* outdoor temps, and the ones housed inside with no air-conditioning? In the same inhumane conditions that liberals were in an uproar about when Trump was President.
Debating with you isn't worth my time based on your post history. Here is a WP article about the differences between Obama and Trump relating to your post and mine.

‘Kids in cages’ It’s true that Obama built the cages at the border. But Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy had no precedent.
Trump set the precedent with zero tolerance and Biden has run with it, like he has most of Trumps worst policies.
