Single Issue Voter: Controlling The Borders

[Anonymous]

Example of stupid Democrats who will ensure this deal does not go through:

Many Democrats and immigration activists view the White House’s concessions on asylum as cruel and a betrayal of Biden’s campaign promise to reverse Trump’s restrictions on the system. Moreover, the Democratic negotiators haven’t sought to include any changes to help “Dreamers,” immigrants brought to the country illegally as children—effectively giving up on a longtime demand.

The prospect of a “return to the dark days of Donald Trump’s immigration policies is a shameful sign of just how broken this Congress has become,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D., N.Y.) at a rally this week of progressive and Hispanic Democrats.

“Senate Democrats and the White House must not agree to these extreme demands,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

More Democrats stonewalling:

And more. If this deal does not go through, it’s very clear who will be to blame. And it’s NOT the GOP:

“I am concerned about how far the White House will go in agreeing to the concessions that the Republicans want — concessions relating to making permanent changes to asylum and some other aspects,” said Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). “It’s pretty frustrating.”

Alienating the progressive wing of the party is almost a necessary ingredient of finishing a border deal. The days of every Democrat teaming with a handful of Republicans to cut bipartisan deals is over. With a Republican House and Speaker Mike Johnson in power, any workable agreement almost by definition has to make the left uncomfortable, at the very least.

The hand-wringing is already in full effect. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) is lamenting the decision to link border policy to foreign aid and Democratic leaders’ exclusion of Hispanic lawmakers from the negotiating room. And he has repeatedly voiced his concern to both senior White House officials and Senate Democratic leaders.

An internal Democratic clash could pose significant problems for the White House if progressives can pull together to oppose a final deal. The hurdles from such a rebellion are likely to be higher in the House than Senate, where liberals’ opposition to border policy and conservative opposition to Ukraine funding could pose a toxic combination.

“I’m an absolute no on any bill that’s going to change asylum status, or remove parole,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). “We shouldn’t be scapegoating immigrant lives over our supplemental.”

So maybe the GOP shouldn’t have run home and should have gone ahead and done some legislating?

Ope. Sorry. They can’t do that though. They have to keep you scared and angry.

DP. You do know that Democrats make up half of the House - and THEY also “ran home” for the holidays. Right?

Your point is that the gop cares about this and they do not. Not at all.

Who do you think has been lobbying for YEARS to secure the border, you numbskull? And who has been whining about border control being “too extreme and cruel”? Get a clue.

No politician in either party on the Federal level has any serious interest in legislation to improve our immigration policies and secure our borders. It seems as though you people would have figured this out by now.

Actually the Republicans haven’t put anything forward so there’s nothing to stonewall. But don’t let the slack state of your flaccid party embarrass you. I’m sure we’ll see something. A perfect plan. Just as soon as they come back from this totally unforeseen break that none of them could have planned around.

It seems like the Democrats are waiting at the table after making overtures to the GOP for several years.

Republicans passed a bill, now sitting in the Senate, months ago. HR2. Dems won't even look at it.

Because Democrats constantly tie more border funding to a path for citizenship. Interestingly, they have finally dropped that idiotic demand because they know it's a loser.

What on earth are you babbling about? Republicans have put forward their proposals over and over and have been shot down by moronic Democrats - over and over. Here, educate yourself:

Oh, my. Nice complete pretzel "logic." The Democrats have REFUSED to tighten up legislation regarding the border for years. Have they asked for more and more border funds? Sure! Funds to pay for more judges to allow more illegal immigrants INTO the country. Republicans have been requesting the actual *legislation* to be amended so as to set a far higher standard as to who is allowed in. Democrats refuse. But, you know that.

Well, good for her - she seems to have some common sense. But my how things change. Remember when Trump was excoriated for sending National Guard troops to the border? The Biden administration is a complete failure.
