Republicans are ramping up their efforts to squeeze President Biden and congressional Democrats on the border surge, sensing a political opening heading into 2022.

After enduring four years of criticism over Trump policies, GOP lawmakers are now attempting to flip the script. They’re forcing Democrats to block immigration bills on the floor, targeting members up for reelection and taking well-publicized trips to the southern border.

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) lashed out at Democrats from the Senate floor Thursday, saying the border “crisis … continues to escalate.”

“And what about Democrats here in Congress? Are the House Democrats rising to the occasion with solutions? Not exactly. They prioritized passing another amnesty bill. They doubled down on the wrong direction and the wrong incentives,” McConnell said, referring to House-passed bills that would create a path to citizenship for long-term agricultural workers and immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children.
