Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA) and allied legislators are promising to defund President Joe Biden’s easy-migration policies in 2022.
“We’ll return to the policies that made our border secure,” McCarthy told an invited group of mainstream journalists — including Breitbart News — on October 21.
But the GOP leaders did not spotlight the economic damage done by Biden’s chaotic migration — even though many millions of Democratic-leaning suburban Americans worry that Biden’s migration is hitting them in the pocketbook.
Instead, McCarthy and allied legislators are replaying non-economic messages favored by the establishment GOP as they try to boost base turnout in 2022. Those messages tout legal immigration but slam illegal migration — and amnesty — for importing crime, chaos, drugs, terrorists, disease, and higher taxes.
