This is such a silly take. It depends what was in the “bi-partisan bill” and whether it would have actually helped end the immigration crisis. It wouldn’t have (in part because people like Mayorkas were writing it). The House position is consistent–they didn’t like the bill. https://t.co/5tkRIKFC1Y

Any more than one and a) Dems will demand something border-related for *them* and b) it opens up opportunities for mischief in the fine print. Keep it simple. Laws are hard to change. Better to codify one solid reform than three half-assed Schumerized compromises. https://t.co/v1JRH2uN7h

But it doesn’t actually get Mayorkas off the hook, or portray Biden as the ‘head of the snake.’ Who was making the actual (disastrous) policy while the WH was consumed with rivalry, backbiting and ducking responsibility? Mayorkas was. https://t.co/uszlPJV7JC
