Truly a disgusting man. He would probably bring back slavery to “own” the right.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
“A bipartisan bill would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here, and Congress needs to get it done,” Biden said.
He’s loathe to give a win to Biden on an issue that animated the Republican’s successful 2016 campaign and that he wants to use as he seeks to return to the White House.
It was a stark claim from a Democratic president that was met with astonishment and shock from immigrant advocates who have said his policies do not reflect the progressive approach they had expected.
“Voters want to see our elected leaders do the hard work to fix our frayed immigration system,” said Deirdre Schifeling, chief political and advocacy officer at the American Civil Liberties Union.
“President Biden and Congress must abandon these proposals and heed voters’ demands for fair and effective immigration policies that manage the border and treat people seeking safety with dignity.”
Mexicans accounted for 56,236 arrests in December, while Venezuelans were second with 46,937, erasing much of the decline that followed the start of deportation flights to Venezuela in October.
The original article contains 664 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Seems like republicans are boxed in. If they block an immigration bill because they want to deny Biden a win their complaining about the border will lose most of it's impact as an issue based on massive hypocrisy. If they pass legislation, it helps Biden. Guess they have to hope for voters short memories. Democrats need a spokesman on republican immigration hypocrisy.
I can't imagine they aren't going to try and send him a bill with some garbage in it.
The Senate made an agreement. In order for the House to pass it, they can't change it much. If they do put garbage in it, it'll never get to the President's desk.

Since when do Republicans care about hypocrisy? Mitch might be acting as the voice of reason today, but he was the one who refused to let Obama's last SC pick even have a vote, because he knew it would pass, while rushing Trump's last pick through before the election.

Dems have plenty of spokespeople. All 50 millionish of us. Grassroots is how we fight.
Otherwise it's just a talking head, or a message from some media org, all of which have lost a great deal of trust. But an individual showing someone something like how to use ground.news to see a bigger picture is a bit of a different story, it's personal. You can see their eyes as you talk to them.
