However, Republicans won't agree to that. Why? Because it would help make the situation at the border better, and they don't want that under any circumstance. They would rather continue the cruelty: The cruelty of seeing migrants fleeing horrific circumstances thanks to Republican Governors who use their own military to block Border Patrol agents from doing their jobs and saving lives; The cruelty of blaming immigrants for everything just to try and win elections; The cruelty of separating mothers from their babies. That is the extreme Republican playbook. Let's stop wasting everyone's time with this empty rhetoric and work on some real solutions. Vote ``no'' on this fact-free resolution.
