More than several. Tanking that bill happened at the end of the campaign but he used that as best he could to good success. The GOP gave Dems an amazing defense to the accusations of being weak on immigration by sinking that bill. That was a dumb political strategy and the Dems are going to take full advantage as did Tom Suozzi. |
That's exactly it. Blocking the border deal has shown exactly how disingenuous the Republicans are. It shows they don't really care about the border and have just been using it as a political stunt. It shows they aren't actually committed to solving the issues. |
Generally they’re pretty well committed to making issues worse. |
And instead playing games with the Mayorkas impeachment. I bet all those NY republicans who took a partisan vote to impeach last night are freaking out this morning. This was the most democratic friendly district out of all the NY Biden districts held by Rs. |
It's not just a "defense" - it is reality. The GOP has never wanted this issue to be meaningfully addressed. There are too many GOP businesses and GOP homeowners who are perfectly happy to pay lower wages to undocumented workers. |
And if they solved it, they could no longer whip up the crazies. |
Guess who said this:
“Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” It’s quoted here: The surge in immigration is a $7 trillion gift to the economy https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/13/immigration-economy-jobs-cbo-report/ |
Round and round we go - the House is going to try for a border and Ukraine bill

Republicans don’t negotiate in good faith. Nobody is going to stick their necks out to compromise with those a**holes. |
Dang, you know it's bad when Fox News turns on Republicans!
