The Blame Game

I want to address one argument that has already become a talking point among establishment Republicans. 

They are saying, “We finally have a bipartisan deal. It’s not perfect, but if Republicans are responsible for defeating it, Joe Biden will blame us for the scandal at the border.”

He’s already doing that, as is everyone else (here and here) in his administration. It has accelerated in recent weeks, like when he had the gall to go before cameras and say, “I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power.” That is a lie. Joe Biden has the same power that Donald Trump had.

If this bill passes, what is Joe Biden going to say then?

I fully expect he will launch a minor crackdown for the next nine months.  Then his political ads will say, “After three years of begging Republicans in Congress to act, they finally did what I asked for. And look at what we were able to do!”

In other words, he’s going to blame Republicans, whether they go along with this terrible deal or not.

Meanwhile, one of the most ludicrous arguments being made is that Senate Republican negotiators drew the line and there’s no mass amnesty in the bill, which progressives desperately wanted. 

They must think we all have IQs of three. 

An open amnesty in a bipartisan deal by the “Uniparty” would result in any Republican who voted for it being defeated in their next reelection campaign.

The sad reality is that the left’s open borders policies are a de facto amnesty.  Thousands of illegal aliens get amnesty every day as they cross our border and just melt into American society. 

And you could see the left pro-amnesty worldview in operation last week when most House liberals overwhelmingly voted against multiple bills to deport criminal illegal aliens.
