The GOP is always disconnected and joining with Democrats, but the reverse never happens. The Democrats move in lockstep, except for maybe John Fetterman, and always bring a couple of Republicans along on divisive legislation.
Guess who started this whole Temporary Protected Status (TPS)? Obama, of course and now the Democrats want all these people to stay. This is another way the left has created a mechanism to bring in a new voter base while the GOP sleeps or joins in the game. I even wonder if any of these immigrants have been vetted.
The GOP is weak, and the only thing holding them together is Trump. Otherwise, we would most likely be living in a socialist America because that is what the Democrats want. All IMO.
“House Democrats managed to pass a bill on Thursday to poke President Donald Trump in the eye over immigration enforcement — and they had double-digit help from Republicans to do it.
Ten Republicans bucked their party and their president while voting to keep temporary protected status in place for more than 300,000 Haitians living in the United States, according to NBC News.
The vote was largely symbolic, but there were still fireworks on the House floor.
Republicans who crossed party lines to approve the measure included Reps. María Elvira Salazar, Carlos A. Gimenez and Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida; Rich McCormick of Georgia; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania; Don Bacon of Nebraska; Mike Lawler and Nicole Malliotakis of New York; and Mike Carey and Mike Turner of Ohio.
The measure was passed in the form of a “discharge petition,” which allows a bill to get to the floor even if it’s bottled up in committee or opposed by the House leadership.
In one explosive moment during debate, Florida Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican, blasted the “temporary protected status” concept — noting that there doesn’t seem to be much that’s “temporary” about it.”
