Right-wing lawmakers are proving increasingly willing to force potentially divisive votes.

    Lololol. The border situation that is objectively better than last year even with Title 42 ending and trending downward?

    Also, these are encounters/apprehensions, which by the very definition of those terms means we are interdicting illegal crossers. So if you want to play the game of “record apprehensions!” Then, great. Kudos to the Biden administration for stopping the most people ever. More than Trump! More than Obama! More than Bush!

    This is a waste of time and resources. For the party that throws “witch hunt” around, I can’t think of a better term to describe this type of BS.

    Fixing our immigration issues requires nuance and compromise. Neither of those things are an earmark of our current Congress or political climate.

      It’s all just a song-and-dance for their base, and everyone - on either side of the aisle - should be concerned with just how much time is being spent on that song-and-dance. These are the people who were elected - and are being paid - to run the country, but instead of doing anything material, they’re wasting time on shit like this.
