GOP is not quite as uniform/in-lock-step as the Dims.

The left has been merging its various segments, showing less divergence among them. The same is not true for Conservatives.

And the majority of leaders of GOP Conservatives continue to be more outside the elected GOP officials than among them. There IS support for the GOP Conservative base among some elected GOP leaders, but they are not the chosen leaders of the GOP caucus in either the House or the Senate. THAT later part is why their is no concerted GOP counter agenda against the Dims in Congress. There is an effort at one but it is neither concerted nor consistent but fixed too much on the whims of the Congressional caucus leaders, who do not uniformly stand with a majority of the GOP party base.

There's been plenty of squawking about this. They've introduced bills to defund such flights, etc.. Basic google search shows you all the bitching.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Congress+illegal+immigrant+flights&rlz=1C1MSNA_enUS772US772&oq=Congress+illegal+immigrant+flights&aqs=chrome..69i57.6215j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Problem is that Congressional Republicans are literally powerless about this. They'd if they got control in November, they could at least attempt defunding it.

The wife is 100% correct.

Republicans are all talk and no action.

Action would require that they hold democrats and Biden accountable for all of the violations of law going on right now under democrats. In fact, the violations go back many years, including those violations of law under Bill Clinton and Obama. The violations are not just from the administrations, but also from the house and senate. Pelosi and Schumer and Schiff and Nadler and many others come to mind.

Talk is cheap and means nothing. Real actions make the violations stop. And it’s the same kind of thing happening all over the country, especially in democrat controlled regions, where criminals are let ouot free with no consequences and might not even get arrested for their criminal/felonious behavior.

If crimes and illegal actions are not punished, it only encourages more of the same, and democrats know it and republicans DON’T CARE.

Don’t stop at deporting all illegals. If they try to cross our border illegally again, shoot them. Then they’ll probably go the legal way.

A day late and a dollar short. Where were these bills when Ryan was Speaker? Won't you ever catch on to these phonies?

You want the Republicans to do something? They haven't done anything since the won the Civil War and abolished slavery.

“Republicans in Washington will tell you they are powerless to do anything about illegal migration until after they regain control in November”

Right, just like repealing 0bamacare. Yet another example of why the GOP is called the loser party and the swamp is viewed as the Uniparty.

They talk sweetly in our ears at townhall meetings, Yep, I’m looking at you Crenshaw, but behind TV cameras they always backstabbing the base. I’m looking at you Lindsey Graham we’re gonna kick your butt to the street too! And we NEED NEED, I can’t emphasize enough , we need to get rid of the RNC GOOD FOR NOTHING FAT *ITCH chairwoman McDaniel! She has failed the party ....why is she still in that position? Resign you hippo!

I’m pretty sure The Bush Family knows why nothing is being done.
They are large part of the problem.

When we see the stories on FOX News that highlight the cancellation of our border under the Biden administration, she always asks why the GOP isn’t doing a blessed thing about it.

Because they're on the Cheap Labor Choo Choo!

PING!

Miranda is right, for the most part. A few of them — very few — are actually trying. The rest just want to stay in office.
