EL PASO, TEXAS - DECEMBER 22: An aerial view of the Mexican and American flags fly over an international bridge as immigrants line up next to the U.S.-Mexico border fence to seek asylum on December 22, 2022 in El Paso, Texas. A spike in the number of migrants seeking asylum in the United States has challenged local, state and federal authorities.
As long as the immigration-phobic House Freedom Caucus controls newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy and whatever agenda he may have had before whatever secret deals he may have made with the group and as long as Democrats control the Senate, we’ll be sitting.
Our own senior senator, John Cornyn, is one of the elected officials who seem to be seeking solutions, even though the veteran Republican officeholder is well aware that the House will pretty much stymie anything beyond appropriating billions to finish out a border wall and beef up a border security police presence. Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Hill Country Republican, is typical. Roy, a former chief of staff for Sen. Ted Cruz, is not all that interested in immigration reform.
Cornyn also points out that until the current border chaos eases, talks about immigration reform will go nowhere. “It’s a prerequisite, a foundation for any larger agreement,” he said.
