      So if there is nothing you can do without congress, except something you don’t want to do and are forced into. But the situation at the border needs to be addressed… then it’s your fault.

      It’s not as if there was a much broader plan with expansion of processing capacity of asylum requests that was torpedoed by R’s solely to deny D’s a win. Oh wait…

        Republicans don’t want an expansion of processing capacity. Republicans want the Biden administration to enforce the laws we already have, and since they refuse to do that, why should we pass more laws they won’t enforce?
