If the deal falls apart, Democrats need to hit Republicans HARD that they care more about their god king than solving the issue they spend 24/7 screaming about. Show the country that they couldn't give less than a fuck about governing and solving problems (there also are many, many previous examples to point to).
The pressure on Congress is too high not to act. This is what Republicans claim is the biggest crisis here at home. They won’t be able to block this without paying for it dearly come November. The fact that they would choose a “win” by trying to prolong the crisis, while wishing for a recession and market collapse is all you need to know about their party.
A border policy that includes more funds, more resources for amnesty due process and a humane method of dealing with the overwhelming situation is a win for America and hopefully immigrants. The GOP can add “blocking boarder relief” to “blocking access to healthcare and meddling with women’s bodily autonomy” if they sabotage this. Biden and his people are smart, and they will do what’s necessary or hold the gop accountable at the ballot box if they get cute. Biden signing a landmark immigration reform bill could be the last boost necessary to achieve a landslide victory.
It wouldn't be the first time Republicans made "Perfect" (for them that is) the enemy of the Good and have come away shorn. Here's hoping to them continuing that tradition.
The way this legislation was worded I was looking forward to all the "Florida man" stories being updated with, "Suspect has recently declared his candidacy for President."
For Republicans it’s an article of faith we must curtail all immigration, especially asylum seekers and that goes double for asylum seekers entering via the southern land border.
Though this doesn’t get mentioned, seeking asylum is a legal form of immigration.
Stephen - you keep saying “almost half the country still supports the sociopath”. That is not true. Maybe 1/3 do. Another 20-30% are completely tuned out. Please stop conflating silence with support.
So Democrats need to make concessions on border policy in order for Rs to make concessions on allowing Putin to take over the world? Each side giving up something they want?

Achieve landmark bipartisan immigration reform?
Or appease a panicked, disgraced thug facing a mountain of criminal charges? (Answer: This one is a gimme, or should be).

Lol, yes, “droogs”! Love it. I viddy.
With Ukraine they have moved on from destabilizing our democracy to destabilizing those of other countries. Taiwan and South Korea are next.

He enjoys it if people suffer for him or because of him, otherwise he DGAF.

I realize it's a generalized statement any more, but how would Biden "finally get religion" wrt immigration? Is keeping people out a religious thing?
