When one asks what’s killing the GOP’s ability to advance their immigration agenda, it’s clear the call is coming from inside the House
Republican lawmakers in the House are once again at each other’s throats, this time over their efforts to secure hardline border and immigration reform.
On Friday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) skewered former President Donald Trump — and members of his own party — for failing to secure the border during his own time in office during an interview on Fox Business.
“President Trump failed, along with Republicans … they failed in 2018 to actually move a border security bill to tighten this so that we weren’t dealing with this crisis right now, they failed to build the wall,” Roy said, “this stuff matters, it adds up.”
During a heated floor debate on Thursday, Roy also expressed his frustrations with his caucus. “It doesn’t matter who is sitting in the speaker’s seat or who has the majority. We keep doing the same stupid stuff,” he said, lambasting a proposed resolution that would extend government funding through early March. The bill passed and was signed by President Biden on Friday.
Of course. But we’re not allowed to talk about who hires them. And if they’re not good little slaves, they disappear and magically end up homeless in cities, Mexico, or worse.
