Do Republicans Want to Lose the 2022 Midterms...Because These Moves Could Do That

Senate Republicans Find the Worst Possible Time to Restart Immigration Talks with Democrats

What the hell is going on up on the Hill? What the hell are Republicans thinking with this move? We have every issue playing in our favor. The Left’s culture wars are turning off swaths of voters who are flocking to the GOP. We have the start of the Biden recession. We have high gas prices, inflation, and a southern border crisis—and what do Senate Republicans decide to do? Hold immigration reform talks with the Democrats. Do they not realize they caused the border fiasco? There are three issues that zap the energy out of the GOP base when it comes to Republican candidates. They’re abortion, gun control, and immigration. Any Republicans who are pro-abortion, pro-gun control, and pro-amnesty should consider switching parties; you’re not going to get our people to vote for you.

We have the momentum, and the Senate GOP seems content with sabotaging the 2022 midterm political environment. We all know the Democrats want amnesty for the tens of millions of illegal aliens who are here. We need to stop with the 11 million figure. It’s been the same figure since the late Barbara Jordan was in office. The true number is probably closer to 30 million, maybe more. Who knows how many there will be after Biden’s presidency? They’re purposefully not enforcing the law. That’s the Democratic Party agenda—and the GOP thinks that this can be solved through negotiations. It’s not because there’s a resource issue, guys. It’s not because the laws are outdated. The Left doesn’t want to enforce them; they want open borders. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. This is the worst time to be pulling off these sorts of talks. It’s also a very dangerous game. Democrats know the GOP has more to lose if these immigration negotiations collapse, which is probably their end game. Keep the GOP enticed long enough to then poison pill the whole bill and leave the GOP holding the bag with an infuriated base that will stay home in November. Guys, OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES (via Roll Call):

The truth is that there are quite a few Republican senators who are entirely in favor of open borders, largely because they depend on funding from industries (e.g. - agriculture, food service, and hospitality) that depend on a supply of cheap labor.
 
It is a short-sighted and destructive policy, but no one in Washington ever looks beyond the next election.
