Senate Republicans are vowing to block a bipartisan border security deal from moving forward on the floor, three months after Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) hailed it as a “huge success,” …
They can’t solve it. Look at what happened with abortion. They used it as a political hammer for decades. Then McConnell and Trump managed to stack SCOTUS with enough religious zealots that they actually overturned Roe v. Wade. Now, Republicans are getting their asses handed to them in elections all over the country because the majority of Americans didn’t want it overturned.
If Republicans actually solve the border “crisis” they will get beat up even more. The American agriculture industry relies on immigrant labor. It cannot function without it. If Trump and the Republicans solve this and kick out all immigrants, we as a nation will be screwed. Produce will rot in the fields. We’ll have no one to slaughter meat animals. You cannot find enough American citizens that are willing to do that work for what the industry pays. Inflation will shoot up like never before and Republicans will again get assaulted at the polls.

You are assuming Republican voters are rational. They have a long history of voting against their own interests, because their leaders convince the voters that the real problem is the liberals/feminists/gays/immigrants/etc…
Inflation will shoot up and it will be Someone Else’s Fault.
Actually I’m hoping that the independent voters are rational and can be reasoned with. There are not enough Republican voters to doom us on their own. I do have to acknowledge that history suggests I’m being unreasonably optimistic.
People will have no choice but to take those jobs or starve.
I know your comment is a joke, but it really doesn’t work that way. Florida has passed a draconian law banning hiring undocumented immigrants and farmers are suffering because of it.
The Republicans have constantly fought against workers’ rights and once they have completed their takeover, you can bet they will take the US all the way back to the 19th century in that regard.

That’s what the child labor is for. There is more than one reason to restrict birth control and abortion access.
Those child laborers are mostly immigrant children
Damn immigrant children, taking all our children-jobs. /s
I suppose that’s one reason Republicans are trying to gut child labor laws.

People will have no choice but to take those jobs or starve. And you can’t lose an election, if you abolish elections. Checkmate libruls!

The FIRST half of the century, even. The part when you were either a white Christian or property.
Their entire strategy is to obstruct and complain about how everything is broken. Actually solving anything would go against theor core identity
