To be fair, the Dems in Congress and at the state level really wanted a border bill too. Border encounters are 50% higher than the previous all time highs in 80’s and early 00’s. Cities and states just can’t handle 2.4 million folks at that border.
Problem is, the GOP believed their own disinformation and didn’t realize that the Dems actually wanted this too. When the bill looked like it would easily pass, and make democrats happy, they freaked out.
They really shouldn’t have been given the oppurtunity.
