Yes, there will have to be compromise or nothing will change. I’m sorry that Lankford was sent to negotiate the bill that he clearly was not ready to do.Be honest, if that is the standard for passing immigration reform a bill will never be passed. The fact is, after Repubs squeezed many concessions out of Dems Trump killed the bill to deny Biden a bipartisan legislative victory on the border going in to the election.
5000 illegals legalized per day plus more is not any kind of compromise. It’s keep the border wide open, but also give us other things that we want. Can’t blame the Democrats for trying, but it failed so now they need to get serious.
Hundreds of 1000s of dollars for foreign dictators, and less than a fourth of that for our own border is not a compromise.
At least not an acceptable compromise to anyone who cares about the United States more than Ukraine. More than Israel for that matter.
The Senate bill was way too lopsided in favor of illegal aliens, and against American citizens. The go along to get along Republicans in the Senate might have signed off on it if they hadn’t been caught. But the house would’ve never signed off on it. It was a doomed bill from the start.
A compromise means something that could actually make it to the president’s desk. Tell your Democrat buddies to get serious and offer some real border reform that would force the new Secretary of Homeland security to be serious about protecting homeland security.
