Immigration storm bears down on Republicans

[DonViejo]

GOP lawmakers can’t hide from a debate that continues to fracture the party.

House Republicans left Washington last week relieved that their ugly, months-long fight over immigration was behind them. The reality? It’s far from over.

President Donald Trump has been pestering Congress to send him big money for his border wall with Mexico, a demand that could lead to a government shutdown just weeks before Election Day.

And lawmakers might not even have that long to ignore the issue. A series of court rulings expected in the coming weeks on Dreamers as well as separated migrant families will crank up the heat up on GOP lawmakers and underscore their inability to govern when it comes to immigration.

“This is certainly a setback today, but it’s not the end,” Rep. John Faso, a moderate New York Republican, told POLITICO last week after a GOP immigration bill failed in the House. “The issue is not going to go away.”

Trump may enjoy campaigning on immigration, but it’s far from what Republican leaders want to highlight as they battle to keep their majorities this fall. GOP lawmakers have repeatedly shown an inability to unite behind any sort of immigration plan, and Trump has failed to lead on the matter as well — creating a constant whiplash as he changes his positions from day to day.

1. Wow...these guys have it all, and still can't get their crap together...

Goes to show you that all that they promised, all that they told voters of what they would do if in power, is a joke. All they wanted to do is reduce taxes for their donors and that's it, nothing else or nothing more.

So why vote for these guys?

They already have shown that they can't do anything except 1 thing, cut taxes for a tiny fraction of the US.

Disgusting, and pathetic.

2. Odd isn't it what gets you sometimes is not what you expect.

You can lie, steal, molest, commit treason, cave to dictators and murderers; but a few pictures and audio of crying kids brings you down.
