If you have a Republican congressman or senator, or two, now’s the time to write to them. If you have a Democrat, don’t even bother. It’s easy to do and takes just a moment of your time. I just did it. You can cut and paste words out of here if you want.
You're about to get stuck with another huge Ukraine bill and our southern border is going to be just as bad, possibly worse. How can I say this? Because Republicans are at the White House “negotiating”. And talks are “productive”. That’s Swamp Code for the Democrats are about to own the GOP.
President Biden has all the resources he needs to end the border crisis. Reinstate Remain in Mexico and end Catch and Release. Both can be done with an Executive Order. Asylum seekers will have to apply for and await their asylum hearing in another country. There’s no need for additional resources, additional border guards or more asylum judges. The president can do this right now.
Once the waves of illegal immigrants have slowed back down to Trump levels, THEN you can consider Ukraine funding.
Speaker Johnson is over at the White House right now working on the “details” of an “agreement”. Perhaps the Speaker is negotiating for a smaller Ukraine bill, or a “commitment” to lower the rate of illegal entry. There need be no details and no agreement. It’s as simple as telling the president “Do your job.”
President Biden is in a VERY difficult position on immigration - he’s in a box. The Republicans have no obligation whatsoever to help him out of it.
The president caused this crisis with the stroke of a pen - and he can end it the same way.
