Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) told the New Republic that his Republican colleagues have privately confessed that the now-dead immigration deal was the toughest one theyd ever get.
In an extraordinary spectacle, virtually all Senate Republicans joined together Wednesday to block a bipartisan bill that would have given Republicans much of what they wanted on border security. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to. We talked to Democratic Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, who conferred with Republicans throughout this process. He opened up about what Republicans said behind closed doors, noting that they privately admitted that this bill was aligned with their view of what would be useful for securing the border.

Let the voters know that what was hashed out was EVERYTHING Senate Republicans wanted then voted to defeat it on orders from the Turtle to please TSF.
For it is the Senate Republicans who gave this gift to Democrats regarding Immigration and the Southern Border. Senate Republicans just wrote an ad for the DSCC.

(17,432 posts)I worry about the condition of the people migrating for work, fleeing their countries, getting food and shelter. I don't mind how many human beings come into my country and make it their new home. Other people care and want rules and regulations. I think all of us are tired of political footballs and scrub games the rwnj play. They keep moving the goalposts and when they get a chance to score, they fumble. Hell, they walk off the field.
rwnj can dismantle, but they can't replace or build new. They are anarchists. Some are traitors. Vote them out of power.
