[Lindsey Graham DDS said], “To my Republican friends: To get this kind of border security without granting a pathway to citizenship is really unheard of.”
It is just the best feeling in the world as a progressive to have to agree with Lindsey Graham and hope that Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Freedom Caucus are successful in their efforts to kill this bill for the wrong reasons, just really super proud of my Congress right now /s
We are in stupid land. It’s not that the bill doesn’t have a bunch of terrible garbage in it to pass, it’s that biden is president.
Basically, the main reason they are agitating to not pass it is that if they do they won’t have anything to pass in a trump presidency.
I thought the main reason was so they couldn’t give Biden a win? Though that was a comment a few weeks back, unsure if it’s that bill but assume so since they don’t tend to move quickly.
It is. One of the House fascists admitted it.
The enemy of my enemy cuts the hair of this other enemy and they have brunch with the first enemy… is everyone my enemy?
Obstructionists gonna obstruct.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Leading Senate Republicans are warning their House colleagues not to play political games with the current immigration negotiations because they won’t get a better deal down the road under a potential second Donald Trump presidency.
The pleas from the Republicans come as senators are expressing growing optimism that they’re on the brink of securing a bipartisan deal on tougher asylum and border laws that they have been negotiating for months, with uncertainty looming as to whether the GOP-controlled House would accept it.
Greene said she would personally file a “motion to vacate” and force a vote to overthrow House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., if he cuts a deal to fund Ukraine, no matter what immigration provisions it contains.
Some House conservatives don’t want to give President Joe Biden a victory on an issue like immigration, where he’s politically vulnerable heading into a likely rematch with Trump this fall.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., echoed the warnings that even if Republicans win full control of government, they wouldn’t get a single Democratic vote for such a deal.
“One of the things that I keep reminding my members is if we had a 100% Republican government — president, House, Senate — we probably would not be able to get a single Democratic vote to pass what Sen. Lankford and the administration are trying to get together,” he told reporters.
