Never think that Democrats and Republicans aren't in bed together. If it comes to making a profit or some type of gain, the Republicans are happy to do business with the Left.

It looks to me like the GOP leadership has quite intentionally adopted a strategy of letting the administration have as much rope as they want. They are counting on a huge backlash in November. To a certain extent, it appears to be working with FJB's approval rating plummeting.
Personally, I think compromising one's principles, even for a moral purpose, perhaps especially for a moral purpose, is a mistake. Who knows? Maybe they are just RINOs.

Right. They're trying to whip the country up AGAIN. Does anyone think that the dems are going to convince 10 republicans to go along with this nastiness? Right now it's all just news cycles about how bipartisan it is to try and gin up fake public support news articles, to try and bully the senate repubs.

wcb6092Omnibus Bill Funds Border Security For Eight Foreign Nations
The bill includes no new funding for US border security
https://www.theepochtimes.com/...vAqFFEUR6OEF3QShJbzuDemocrats’ $1.5 trillion omnibus bill would provide funding for border security in eight foreign nations—many of whom are U.S. adversaries—while providing no new funding for U.S. border security.
The omnibus bill allocates $370 million to “enhanced border security” measures in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman, of which $150 million alone is set to go toward border funding in Jordan. In addition, the bill provides funding for border security measures in Libya, Nepal, and Pakistan, a longtime U.S. adversary.
As a compromise, GOP lawmakers retained around $2 billion in previously-allocated border wall construction funds, but the omnibus bill contains no new funds for border security along the U.S. southern border.
Preston Huennekens, government relations manager at the nonpartisan Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), blasted the measure in a statement to The Epoch Times.
“It is insulting to the American people that Democrats would rather secure the borders of countries such as Oman, Pakistan, and Libya while our own states on the border are overwhelmed with illegal immigration,” Huennekens said.
“The omnibus package offered exactly zero dollars for the hiring of any additional border or immigration agents, and also took steps to dismantle enforcement tools such as the 287(g) program,” he continued, referencing a program that allows state and local law enforcement officials to aid the Department of Homeland Security to find and deport illegal aliens.
“This shows that Democrats are simply out of touch with the American electorate, who overwhelmingly disapprove of President [Joe] Biden’s handling of immigration,” Huennekens concluded. “Democrats ignore our raging border crisis at their own peril.”
Since Biden took office, he has taken a far more laissez-faire approach to border security than did former President Donald Trump.
Biden halted construction on Trump’s border wall almost immediately after taking office, leaving construction materials that had already been paid for by the federal government sitting unused along the border. At the same time, Biden reduced the number of border security agents, leaving those agents who remain unable to stop the unprecedented inflow of illegal immigrants into the country.
In addition, Biden overturned Trump’s “Stay in Mexico” policy, which required that those seeking asylum in the United States remain in Mexico until their asylum applications were approved.
The United States is already facing unprecedented levels of illegal immigration along its southern border, which critics have blamed on the Biden administration’s laissez-faire attitude toward enforcement of immigration law.
Viral images and videos have circulated on the internet showing massive numbers of immigrants crossing into the country, often without a border patrol agent in sight.
Alarming reports have arisen from Americans living in border towns, which are facing constant threat of criminal sex and drug traffickers crossing the border. Several interviewees living along the U.S.-Mexico border say that they are now unable to leave their homes without a firearm, and do not let their children out of their sight while outside.
Border patrol agents say that they’re swamped, and they have been unable to apprehend a large portion of illegal entrants to the country, leaving many border residents to fend for themselves.

Estimates of how many illegal aliens have entered the country since Biden took office vary, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows that around 2 million people illegally crossed the border in 2021, a nearly fourfold increase over illegal crossings in 2020.
Worsening the situation, many illegal aliens who are apprehended by border security agents have later been released into the United States.
According to an October 2021 letter by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), in the short period between January 2021 and August 2021, around 500,000 illegal aliens were released into the U.S. homeland after being detained by border security.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and several other Republicans have placed the blame on the massive increase in illegal immigration on the policies of the Biden Administration.
“The cause of all of this is simple,” Cruz said in an October 2021 press conference, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refuse to enforce the law.”
During that conference, Cruz and several Senate Republican colleagues called on Biden to return to the immigration policies of Trump by restarting construction on the border wall, ending the policy of catch and release, and re-instituting the “Remain in Mexico” policy.
