As Thom wrote yesterday, “Republicans are attacking Biden, saying he has “opened” the southern border. That message is getting to people south of the border and they’re showing up. They’re showing up because the Republicans are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in order to sabotage Biden.”

In other words, they are trolling Democrats and the public again (their only PR skill) over a seemingly intractable problem of their own making while feeding red meat to their base – gluttons for punishment – for crass political gain (their only political skill).

And now, the death cult in the House is following McConnell in the Senate by trying to kill any legislation that might actually have a chance to help the people who “walk through the [Republicans'] valley of the shadow of death.”

The Republicans are going to make a huge issue of the border crossings. A problem that the wall was not fixing. The Republicans are the abusers that hire illegal immigrants. My Congressman, Ken Buck (R-CO) preaches against immigrants and lives in Greely CO. Greeley is the center of meat packing in the state and hired illegal immigrants. Previous to Congress he was the prosecuting attorney for Greeley and did noting about illegal employment. 1. Make it illegal to hire illegals and enforce it. 2. Develop a work visa program. This way they can work here legally and have an organized program. I have talked to illegals (you cannot build a house in CO without having a few) and they just want to earn money and eventually go home.
