Nightmare year, Trump is still around, Putin still in Uke. , Hamas sprouts it evil head with supporters marching in US, and sleepy Joe just keeps pouring in the immigrants.
Meanwhile Democrats put out a funding package that would cover Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and border security.
However, the House GOP came back with an aid package for only Israel with offset cuts in the IRS. You wanna squawk about immigrants pouring in no further than the unserious Republicans.

oh, so they ARE pouring in ( as they have sincec Biden took office)and now democrats just noticed?
Remember the bipartisan immigration bill passed by the Senate in 2013?
https://www.cnn.com/2013/06/27/politics/immigration/index.htmlSenators passed the sweeping legislation, initially drafted by the four Democrats and four Republicans in the chambers so-called
Gang of Eight by a 68-32 vote.
Fourteen Republicans joined a united Democratic caucus in supporting the bill, which was backed by the White House and had the potential to become the crowning legislative achievement of President Barack Obamas second term.
So what happened to that bill?
John Boehner would not bring it to the floor for a vote. Why?
The Senate bill included a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a provision that is anathema to the majority of House Republicans, most of whom reside in electorally safe, predominantly white districts.
So racism killed immigration reform 10 years ago and for the GOP the border is better as an unsolved issue to scare their white constituents with horror tales of caravans, gangs, fentanyl and human traffickers coming for their sweet suburban daughters.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-real-reason-why-the-house-wont-pass-comprehensive-immigration-reform/It is because House Republicans are not motivated by true conservatism. Rather, they represent constituencies haunted by anxiety associated with the perception that they are losing their countryto immigrants from south of the border.
