Dan Pfeiffer: “To summarize, Johnson demands a border bill in exchange for passing Ukraine aid; the White House and Senate work on a border bill; Johnson opposes the bill without even seeing it, despite repeatedly declaring that the ‘crisis at the border’ is the House GOP’s top priority.”
“Some commentary suggests that Johnson keeps moving the goalpost to prevent his caucus from having to vote on Ukraine aid, which is vehemently opposed by MAGA Republicans but enthusiastically supported by the Republican establishment and more moderate GOPers. With Johnson in perpetual danger of being McCarthy-ed, I am sure avoiding a tough vote is a factor. However, I think Johnson and the Republicans have another more nefarious reason — they want a crisis at the border to help them in the election.”
Imagine if we started accepting immigrants as being human and worthy of respect. What a horror that would be - we’d have to take apart the wall that cost us all so much money and start accepting people as human beings worthy of dignity and honor and trust.
Odd isn’t it when you realize that most of Western America was actually part of the country of Mexico not so long ago. It may be - now this is a radical statement - but it just may be, that we’re all human beings and all these barriers and labels and divisions really should be gotten rid of for good.
