Republicans don’t actually want to address the border “crisis”

The pseudo-legal basis Republicans are citing to justify nullifying federal law in an area of plenary federal jurisdiction is the ridiculous claim that some migrants trying to enter the country constitutes an “invasion” under Article IV. The bad faith of this argument is self-evident, but in case there’s any doubt lef by Trump Republicans are torpedoing a border security deal because they don’t actually want to address it, they just want pictures on Fox News they can use against Biden:
Donald Trump cares so much about the border crisis that he wants to keep it. https://t.co/yEnVKI0XBv— Orin Kerr (@OrinKerr) January 26, 2024
Trump’s hand puppet in the House has made it clear that the House wouldn’t pass the bill even if the Senate agreed to it, which it’s not going to anyway. It’s pure kayfabe, CARAVANS part II. Which hasn’t stopped their Calhounite arguments from getting four votes at the Supreme Court.
