Or just more posturing before a deal?
Senate Republicans made clear on Wednesday that there will be no immigration deal unless Democrats agree to restrictions on parole, the border authority used by the administration to admit hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
That was the unequivocal message as Republicans emerged from a meeting convened to update members on the state of talks. The conference has been united in the need for border reforms as crossings reach record highs, but conservatives have warned against accepting any deal the White House could sidestep.

Maybe some on the right are finally waking up to how many illegals are actually coming into the country and what their impact is…
Maybe…
More kabuki theater.

On the back of a sewage pumping truck: “Caution, this vehicle transporting political promises”
Politicians always get serious when an election year is about to happen. Like its just a coincidence their minds became more focused on hot button issues. Would be if they worked as hard their entire term of office.
As Argentium says Kabuki Theater. Republicans MIGHT hold the line. However, even if they do, China Joe, and his band of Marxists will ignore this law like they have so many others.
They’ll fold like they always do
will be no deal, unequivocal, warned against.
Yeah, whatever. I fell for this BS when I was in my 20s, even maybe into my 30s, now I see if for what it is. Election season pandering. When they don’t get anything at all, they’ll send out fundraising letters pointing out that they could have done so much if they just had a majority.
Question for the R leadership: Where were you in 2016 and 2017 when you held both chambers and the Presidency? Nowhere to be seen.
To all the above – spot on.
I’ll add I would believe the politicians think it is a crisis if they were behaving like it. I.e. Army and Marines at the boarder with Ma Duce to convince the north bound to turn south. Put businesses using illegals out of business. Confiscate housing found to house illegals, and ship them south by the train load. Stop all remittances. Until a politician begins to advocate for 1 or more, they don’t believe its a crisis. Texas shipping illegals out is just street theater, nothing serious.
Hey Old NFO,
First thing, Tax or stop all the Western Union or other financial transactions to Mexico and Central America, that will put a crimp on that part, then go after the companies that like to hire illegals, crack down on them, make some messy public examples, a lot of them will self deport when you remove the financial incentives. I am fully expecting a October 7th type event here because of all the unvetted illegals, and the donks will use the resulting chaos to call for gun control, movement control, currency control, and “free Speech” control. plus anything else they can push through. Cynical Am I perhaps?, but I put nothing past pedo joe and his cabel.
All- Concur with the Kabuki theater comments. And Bob, if only… sigh
Wall Street is behind the flood of illegal aliens. I have to call it like it is. They’re basking in the glow of a perception of cheap labor and the replacement of a majority that would oppose anything they want. Sure, the democrats are their stalking horses, but follow the money.
The GOP is pretending to play hardball to get something they want… probably money. The GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC. As long as the RINOs keep getting richer they only offer token resistance. The left knows this…and plays along.
It’s all part of the facade.
To believe in the Republican Party hierarchy moving it to right the wrongs is to believe in the tooth fairy — $0.25 at a time does not make the way to reality.
The current Resident and the UniParty will not act to stop the invasion until it causes a threat to those who do not see the problem because it does not directly affect them, and they consider us beneath contempt.
Back in 1993, a professor of economics told me, in a candid moment, that “the promise of NAFTA would not be realized until enough workers had been imported here to bring US wages down to world levels.”
I asked how those invaders could be kept alive if they destroyed the livelihood of the American workers. He had no answer.
