  Someone very wise recently told me:

  Just crying and throwing a fit because people disagree with you doesn’t make it a bad bill

    But a bill that effectively opens borders while keeping any sort of welfare is a bad bill.

      Except it doesn’t effectively open the border, where you getting that from? Democrats really want that aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, so were willing to compromise. That’s how this works. If the border is a really pressing and important issue, then I think there would be some motivation to make a deal quickly, even if republicans can’t get everything they want. Otherwise it seems like the urgency is entirely manufactured for dramatic effect. I’m not saying anything new: an ex-president doesn’t want the “border crisis” solved. Are republican voters going to catch on to such blatent duplicity?
