[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps, she would get a pathway to citizenship if the border would be under control.

How can we give all undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship when they are pouring over the border in the current numbers?  Biden's policies have discouraged control of the border and the results also bring us more human trafficking and drug smuggling in other areas.  That is a fact.

The American people want immigration reform.  But, first they want a secure border.  How many times has this been ignored?

I’m confused. When does the GOP actually want to work with the Democrats on any issue facing America? If you’ll come back to the actual topic, Manchin and Sinema are obstructing a bill that’s ridiculously popular with their constituents. The GOP is, once again, blocking it in its entirety, too. So we’re supposed to believe that the GOP will work with the Democrats on the border? Since when? You guys LOVE complaining about the border.[/quote]

Whoa....let's see.  GOP Senator Tim Scott had a police reform bill.  No dice from Dems.

Here's a sample from WAPO:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/26/democrats-have-vigorously-used-filibuster-its-pathetic-they-now-wont-pledge-protect-it/

"When Schumer was minority leader, he vigorously used the filibuster to do just that. Under his leadership, Democrats used the filibuster to block funding for construction of Trump’s border wall in 2019. They used it not once, but twice to impede passage of the Cares Act — forcing Republicans to agree to changes including a $600 weekly federal unemployment supplement. They used it in September and October to stop Republicans from passing further coronavirus relief before the November election. They used it to halt Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) police reform legislation so Republicans could not claim credit for forging a bipartisan response to the concerns of racial justice protesters. They used it to block legislation to force “sanctuary cities” to cooperate with federal officials, and to stop a prohibition on taxpayer funding of abortion, bans on abortions once the unborn child is capable of feeling pain, and protections for the lives of babies born alive after botched abortions."[/quote]
