The story of the immigration debate is just Republicans killing bipartisan agreements over & over. [/quote]

Bipartisan as in a reform bill written by Republicans who support open borders and Democrats who support open borders.[/quote]

Republicans made demands, negotiated a deal with Democrats, but won’t vote for the deal they demanded. This is what Republicans have done consistently since 1990. They never deliver the votes for changes that they demanded. There is no point in ever negotiating with Republicans. They always act in bad faith. [/quote]

Since November, speaker Johnson has consistently said “it needs to be substantially similar to the border bill we’d already passed otherwise it is DOA in the house”

So establishment old-school senile Republicans in the Senate decided to ignore the base, and “negotiate” a bill that was mainly garbage and [b]didn’t include anything[/b] from H.R. 2

This is not even remotely close to what was demanded. The demand was Ukraine aid for border restrictions—we don’t want to pour tens of billions into Ukraine but you do. We want the border restrictions passed, you don’t. Give us the border restrictions and we’ll give you the foreign aid.

Yet the ultra-until-3-days-ago “compromise” gave them the Ukraine aid for what essentially would be a performative bureaucratic mess of non-restrictions.

Teethless, so many loopholes, somehow included an increase in visas too.

It was a joke, read the bill. It’s awful.

The bill was 80% of what Johnson wanted. In a divided government, 50% would have been a win. So they get 80% and throw in the towel. Not a leigitimate negotiation partner.[/quote]

No it wasn’t. Read H.R. 2 and the senate “compromise”. It is not even [b]remotely[/b] similar.[/quote]
