Stay strong. More news incoming.
While border deal is going to take up most news cycles it remains a complete distraction. A sideshow.
Here is the real scoop from inside:
Donald Trump wants Mitch McConell to resign from his leadership position and he wants to elevate Rick Scott to that position.
Trump is looking at Marco Rubio and two more people as his VP pick. Mike Lee is also being considered for this post and that explains why he is suddenly jumping around against the border bill.
Biden is expected to sign a slew of executive orders next week on immigration if the border bill is confirmed dead. Which very likely it will be.
Mayorkas was his right hand man to do the job of proposing and seeing through these executive actions and hence GOP tried to impeach him.
Biden’s executive orders will contain relief for Dreamers (possibly through parole) and also to Indian immigrants in backlog. Though I am not sure of the details, it is very much on cards.
Few salient points:
Democrats very well knew that the GOP wont be able to build consensus around the bill hence they pretty much agreed to every demand Lankford put forward.
Mike Lee, Ted Cruz etc. were told about the bill’s content and are now lying that they were in dark.
Donald Trump wats the border crossing numbers to be up. Really high up in order to raise more funds.
