I think that there is a bipartisan immigration bill out there being presented and eventually voted on. From the reporting I have read, it's heavy on what the GOP wants, light on what the Dems want and addresses a lot of what the Congressman said he wants. Yet, he can't take that win?

Trump can't, and that's what matters.

My reading of it is that it gives House MAGA/Republicans about 90% of what they wanted.Just as I thought a couple of weeks ago.Biden could totally call their bluff but they won't take it because they want it as a campaign issue. I'm getting close to saying I told you so.(Not you Hortense).

They gave up abortion as an issue to gin up the base. Since the GOP has nothing to offer to govern on, they need something to keep the outrage ramped up and the base distracted. Immigration, it is. This they won't easily give up.
