Better yet: Jon Tester voted to allow a MINIMUM of 1,400 illegal aliens into the US every single day. And that’s when the border is “shut down” under this bill! When the border isn’t ”shut down,” it’s 4,000-5,000 per day, every single day. Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown voted to

I see David Leonhardt has made this point, with more nuance--a bit too much nuance--in the @NYTimes nytimes.com/2024/05/23/bri… Leonhardt doesn't explain *why* Biden & his aides have dallied. Is it just fear of Dem activists and interest groups? That would be pathetic.

Similarly, Biden's aides had 'long running concerns' about left-flank crime policies. But what did they do, as the bodies piled up? They continued to have concerns. But now that Portland's election confirms it's a political liability, they're ready for some action at last minute!

The Chuck Schumer border bill would have codified catch-and-release. He just renamed it 'non-custodial processing.'
