Politico: GOP Senators Cite Border Chaos to Dodge Democrats’ Amnesty Outreach
Political-viewer.com ^ | 3/22/21

Most GOP senators are dodging the Democrats’ efforts to seduce them into joining very unpopular amnesty bills by citing President Joe Biden’s border meltdown, according to Politico. “Many of us support giving a path to citizenship,” to younger illicit migrants, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), told Politico. “But now the border is such a disaster that I don’t optically discern how you can do just a bill to deal with [that],” she verbalized March 18.

Politico accepts the border rationale for the GOP evasiveness — and ignores the immensely colossal unpopularity of wage-cutting amnesty bills even if the border is under control. In 2014, GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) made that mistake and lost his seat in a surprise primary subjugation.

The March 19 Politico report cited other GOP senators’ claim that Biden’s border quandary precludes amnesty deals:

“There’s no scenario I would support even what we called the SUCCEED Act, which was a path to citizenship for the [Dreamers], without it being paired with border security,” [Sen. Thom] Tillis said, referring to the conservative alternative to the DREAM Act that he had endorsed. … “I’m in the bipartisan group, but we haven’t physically contacted it,” verbalized Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.). “There’s a quandary that requires to be fine-tuned, but I don’t cerebrate we’re anywhere near stepping up to it right now.”

… “The concern is, as soon as you bring something up to even start discussing it [an amnesty], you’re going to get a surge,” [Sen. James] Lankford said. “So if you’re not ready to really do it, you shouldn’t play with that. I don’t hear us ready to do it.”

ever-lying, always-backstabbing, MSM-preening,
whoring, babyraping, cocaine trafficking (McConnell),
PAC-stealing GOP.

The Kenyan "Community Organizer" got into office under false pretenses....Obama's shtick was “leading from behind.”

The weak demented Tripper Biden's got a new theme.......leading on his knees.

The pathetic Biden on his knees, desperately holding on.

BIDEN'S STATE DEPT GOES TO ALASKA --- We could have been watching a moronic scene from "Real Housewives of New Jersey."
Biden sent the washed-out facilitator for Hunter's deals, who is Biden's former employee at the Biden Money-Laundering Center, Antony Blinkin, who is now Biden's hand-picked Secy of State.

China took the lead in the Alaskan talks. China plainly said, “we selected & elected your boss & also bought Hunter as our slave. Case closed!

Most problematic w/ Biden kowtowing to China is the world’s reserve currency. Right now its the US dollar, but when Biden causes the U.S. to lose the leadership position the ntl debt becomes very real. Right now the dollar remains artificially stable because every country conducting commodity trades and other financial actions trade with U.S. dollars.

China wants (A) either a basket currency or (B) the Chinese Yuan (preference is the latter). As China asserts its influence around the world, changes in the world’s reserve currency will happen, and it does, it will be like someone pulled the plug on the U.S. financial system.

NOTE WELL Many in Biden’s administration and the Democratic/Republican UNI Party are paid off by the Chinese, pocketing their 30 pieces of silver as the struggling Americans get crucified.

They got so rich, the Biden Crime Family has no worries….the Chinese paid off the Biden Crime Family years ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our mistake was not doing this to the rest of the Bush League Republicans.

Re-electing them only gets us Assistant Democrats.

Who talks that way except a really stupid person with a supposedly higher education. Room temperature IQ individual meets equally dumb college/university prof. The result is a low IQ US senator. One of our betters who "cerebrates" instead of thinks, and says "requires to be" instead of needs.

So those RINOs just may not. Meanwhile, Amnesty is a NO BRAINER for every Democrat in the Senate.

Hmmm, maybe there is a difference between the parties after all?
