Theyโll never โfixโ the border issue, because itโs the one issue that keeps the GOP alive. Itโs like big infrastructure projects in Italy: if they never get completed, pols can campaign on doing so in the next election. One of the oldest tricks. Stop dickin around.
And Crenshaw reveals that many in his party will refuse to actually FIX border and immigration issues, vote against the changes they proposed, because they see helping America as a win for Biden. They see themselves as "winning" by sabotaging the entire nation.
