Another candidate might be ending Biden’s stunning abuse of the “parole” power. The point is to make some progress without triggering a “comprehensive” revision and debate. One popular reform. Dare Dems to stand in the way. Let them make the oh-it’s-so-complicated argument.

Johnson would want to pick a provision with broad support–one candidate is the HR2 provision making clear the President’s power to prohibit entry of aliens if necessary for “operational control” of the border. Biden says he wants this power. Why would Schumer stand in the way? https://t.co/BvIAUqhqPZ

Schumer: “Our Republican colleagues may have given up on acting on the border, but Democrats have not.” Now would be a good time for Johnson to pass just one (1) provision of HR2 and send it to the Senate. See if Schumer and Dems pass it.

Sort of like a political candidate confronting the question of whether to declare something a “campaign expenditure”! Say no, you can be indicted. Say yes, you can be indicted (for spending campaign money on yourself).

It seems like a small change, but we don’t have to guess. The migrants have very good information on their chances of getting in. If those chances go down, fewer will come. If they are unaffected, people will keep coming to game the asylum system. Proof in pudding.
