The CHC’s Tuesday proposals also come as the group has been purposefully excluded from Senate negotiations on border policy, which reportedly have centered on ways to curtail asylum and further fortify the border without addressing calls to overhaul the legal immigration system and appeals to give longtime undocumented immigrants a path to apply for legal status.

    Somehow you completely misread my point; Democrats shouldn’t have created this right-wing border bill in the first place!

        That’s my point! Democrats did this bipartisan bill to appeal to right-wingers and they do not care that it alienates their base.

        What part of that do you disagree with?

          Bipartisanship means that you seldom satisfy all of your base. It does mean you get shit done, usually.

            Seldom satisfy? This shit was so bad it’s enough to make people not vote for them. If this bipartisan bill had been successful it would have resulted in an extremely bad policy.

            Fortunately Republicans would rather get nothing done than get everything they want if it means Democrats can’t have a “win”.
