As senators work on a compromise deal to address border security and immigration, at least one Republican is suggesting politics is a key motivator for him.
“Let me tell you, I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating,” Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. “I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man’s dismal approval ratings. I’m not going to do it. Why would I?”
Nehls indicated he’d accept only a proposal similar to HR 2, a hardline immigration bill that got zero Democratic votes when it passed the House last year.
these people need to be removed from office. you’re there to help your constituents. period.
Wrong, they’re there to represent their constituents, who seem quite content with all the fuckery the GOP has been pulling.
right. like ANYONE in congress “REPRESENTS” their constituents. come on, get real.
There is no constitutional requirement that representatives help their constituents
We need to replace oaths on books with legally binding contracts. I want to be able to sue the fuckers who lie their way into places of power.
Sure, why don’t you write to your representative to get that changed - oh, wait…
Pfft, its way more efficient as an end user to just bribe a lobbyist. DUH
