...and the cynical GOP.

Now the Republicans in Congress are demanding that Biden use executive powers to close the border, something they know he can't do.

I am not sure the Republicans do know that. I think we on this board, through lots and lots of discussion and debate down at the minutiae layers, understand this issue far better than the average voter, the press, and most members of congress.

Now, every time I hear the term "here illegally" I cringe a little bit, knowing about what the underlying laws actually require. We even traced the issue back to its roots in the Geneva convention where the treatment of refugees is specified. That 70 year old doctrine has served us well but it no longer accounts for today's reality that massive numbers of immigrants can and do game the system. It needs revision.
