OPINION
The GOP Seems Poised to Be Suckered into Another Trap

We have written extensively about the detachment from reality Democrats often exhibit on the issues. It was explicit during the 2022 midterms. The top three issues giving liberals the most grief this past cycle were abortion, global warming, and January 6. That development was a classic "tell me you don't need to work anymore without saying so" moment. It's no secret that the Democratic Party base is an urban-professional elite wealthy enough to absorb the rising inflation crushing most American families. Yet, the GOP establishment has proven to be just as isolated as some Senate Republicans are working with Democrats to pass an immigration reform package that is outright abysmal.
How this agreement got hatched defies logic. The GOP failed miserably to retake Congress, falling short of reclaiming the Senate and barely clinging onto the House in what should have been a red wave year. If Republicans had clinched sizable majorities, there might have been more leeway to draft something like this, albeit on more hardline terms regarding immigration. Instead, we might as well declare we're an open borders party with this deal that was the brainchild of Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
Is there funding for a border wall? No, but more resources are allocated to border patrol agents, an extension of Title 42, and an accelerated process to deport illegals who do not meet the benchmarks for asylum. Still, it's all worthless when you factor in that it allows two million recipients of Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to get on a pathway to citizenship. The kicker here is that once those two million are through the process, they can sponsor extended family members—that's the "fine print" portion of that provision, so the two million figure soars into the millions. It's a backdoor open borders bill, which is how the conservative base will read this, endorsed by both parties.
