House Republicans have blown up their own border deal and urged Biden to do a bunch of illegal things.
Maybe they’re trying to sabotage the immigration system. Or maybe they’re just morons? https://t.co/UtrDBSOni2— Catherine Rampell (@crampell) January 30, 2024
Catherine Rampell, at the Washington Post — “House Republicans keep fumbling immigration. Maybe they’re just incompetent?” [gift link]:
House Republicans in recent weeks have blown up an immigration deal negotiated by their own party in the Senate and urged President Biden to adopt border measures that courts have found illegal. A cynic might say this is all theater — that Republicans (led by former president Donald Trump) want to keep immigration problems going through the election.
But did anyone consider a simpler explanation — that Republicans have no clue how our immigration system works?…
