Another Republican power grab failure. Color me surprised.
It's a success, in the sense that it serves the purpose of Texas Republicans. They're creating the public perception of a Biden administration which is not just failing to strengthen border control but rather actively weakening it.
(The Republicans in Congress are stalling on the Ukraine/immigration deal for the same reason - as long as the situation at the border is not addressed, Biden looks bad, even if it's not actually his fault.)
Too bad it's an issue that almost nobody gives a fuck about. The media is desperate for a horse race, for drama, for a crises, but people are exhausted from the constant exaggeration and most of us not living in the beltway would rather live our lives in peace.
I live in NYC and people certainly care about border control here.
What, the fucking Canadian border? 🤣🤣🤣
Are you not aware that over a hundred thousand migrants have crossed the border from Mexico and ended up in New York City recently?
Yeaaaah, that was Republicans bussing them there
Yes, but New Yorkers don't vote in Texas elections - they're going to vote against the Democrats who do represent them. It's not going to swing the state to Trump but it's definitely hurting the mayor and I think it may even affect Congressional elections.
Oh ya NYC is totalling flipping red you guys. The Republican geniuses created a humanitarian crises and totally owned the libs. Mhmmm
And just exactly how did they “end up” in NY?
