Same as it ever was, Republicans peddle this xenophobic lie every election.
Democrats just as much. They just proposed the toughest border control bill...
It was literal bait.
They knew they would move the goalposts and not vote on it. The border is the only thing they had to run on, and they shot that all to hell. The economy is slowly getting better, wages are rising and the stupid Republicans not only shot themselves in the foot over the impeachment based on Russian criminal hearsay, they reloaded and shot the other one over the border deal they got.
I haven't seen any Democrats say they did it on purpose, but I could've missed that memo.
But even if it is bait, it's using immigrant lives as bait, and I'm not cool with that. What if the Republicans voted for the bill? Risking all those lives, for what?
And furthermore: now that the Republicans are proven to be hypocrites, do you think that this will cost them any votes?
Not among the base
But
Independent voters are watching, and the Republican party is tanking with the 18-40s Independents.
