If Speaker Kevin McCarthy and company really care about the border crisis, they should make it their top priority and be public about it. They should play hardball, using the budget process to fight for a secure border.
If they don’t, it will be clear Republican leadership doesn't take the border seriously.

Nope.
You are right. They won’t do anything. I think I hate RINOs more than 🐀
Nope. Just a bunch of strongly worded letters and sound bites. Beyond that, not a damned thing. Except letters asking for DONATIONS.
has not happened yet
They’ve had the power for 9 months now, and they haven’t done anything. So, even with a 100% republican house, they would still not do anything.
Biden and democrats know how weak republicans are, so, they will get away with anything they wish to do. Even the J6 trials and imprisonments are a complete farce, but republicans fear doing anything to protect freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
In January congress congress changed parties in control, but, no change is apparent.
That’s it in a nutshell.
For the past 45 years, the only pub to do anything positive at the border is President Trump.
All others have intentionally failed.
They’re too busy blowing money in Ukraina to care about America
No, but I didn’t expect them to. They didn’t when they had both Houses.
Will house Republicans do anything about the border?
Will house Republicans do anything about unbridled spending?
Will house Republicans do anything about 86,000 IRS agents?
Will house Republicans do anything about the weaponization of DOJ and FBI.
Will house Republicans do anything about the criminality of FJB.
Will house Republicans do ANYTHING.
Nope. They will get brownie points and money for talking about it but their constituents will not hold them accountable for not acting.
They want it as much as the Democrats. Same team. Same goal.
Ping
“their constituents will not hold them accountable for not acting”
That is the root of the problem right there.
No.
You got that right.
YES...they will raise their own pay, and increase their kickbacks, bribes and campaign funds. Border..NO.

The Refugee Convention by permitting illegal entry makes it impossible to secure the border. We need to get out from under the Refugee Convention.
Quotes from the 1951 Refugee Convention:

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....
NOTE: I do not trust any politician to end leftist migrant mercenary-based political takeovers who has not called for invoking Article 44 to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention.
And my distrust extends to Trump and DeSantis.
The Refugee Convention must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.
