While the Left is entirely comprised of liars and cheats and scumbags, this immigration "debate" takes the cake. They lie their figurative asses off at every turn. Here's a reality check:
(1). No new legislation is required in order to "seal the border." The President merely has to enforce the existing laws. Indeed, he could completely seal the border by using the Armed Forces, if he chose to do so. No new legislation required. The fact that it has been done in the past - the RECENT past - is all the proof that is needed.
(2). Essentially ALL of those presenting themselves at the border are "illegal," in the sense that there is no statute or international laws that give them anything even resembling a "right" gain entry, in spite of what Sleepy Joe occasionally says. "Wanting a better life" is not grounds for asylum status. And for the record, calling them, "Newcomers" is an assault on law and language.
(3). The Democrat plan for immigration has been in existence since at least 2005 (prior to which they occasionally stated that illegal immigration was a problem), when they decided that they could take over national politics with the introduction of a few million wretched bastards from overseas, and making them voting citizens. The CODE WORDS for this program are "comprehensive immigration reform," which means (a) complete and total amnesty, followed by (b) naturalization of every last one of them, even as they suck the country dry through our "safety net." Notice when the VP states that the "solution" to the "immigration crisis" is a "path to citizenship." Compare this to President Eisenhower's solution..."Operation Wetback." [mass deportation].
(4). Democrat leadership believes that American voters are toooooooooo fucking stupid to recognize that the entire "immigration crisis" was intentionally created and nurtured by President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas (sp?), hence their preposterous claims that the problem is a Republic creation, caused by Republicans' refusal to pass the recent bullshit "immigration" bill. Parentheticaly, that "bi-partisan" piece of shit was Senator McConnell's suicide pill. One can only hope that he resigns from the Senate forthwith.
By the way, getting a couple of turncoat Republicans to sign on to something doesn't make it a "bi-partisan" bill...or even a bipartisan committee.
