Republicans arent crazy about refugees. A common GOP lie during the 2016 elections was that Democrats wanted to admit unvetted Syrian refugees. Rightwing media was ablaze with talk about a dangerous migrant caravan that miraculously vanished after the 2018 midterms. Conservatives have consistently painted desperate (brown) people as an existential threat to the nation.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, however, has suddenly remembered all that give me your tired and huddle masses stuff. The Texas congressman fully supports the anti-vaxx Canadian truckers illegally blocking roadways. Hes even taken it upon himself to throw open Americas doors for them. He tweeted Tuesday:
Quick note to Canadian truckers being fired and now targeted as terrorists by your woke government: The USA has a trucker shortage AND a work visa program. Heres the link:

This is presumably not a joke, because Crenshaw is a serious politician who proposes serious legislation and solutions for his constituents. Hes not a common Twitter troll like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, thats what hes said, at least. Hes publicly chastised Greene while perhaps secretly envying her style.
Republicans are attacking our neighbor to the north, a major ally, because Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has (perhaps belatedly!) taken decisive action against the truckers' lawless protest. Its not woke when a government cracks down on blockades that have cost the automative industry almost $300 million in lost wages and production. Its law and order capitalism.
