Just when you thought the Republican Party could not sink any lower, they gift us with unpleasant surprises.
The details of a tentative immigration deal between Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have been released.
This from redstate.com.
Lankford was appointed by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to negotiate the terms. And, of course, Mitch the Turtle continues to demonstrate why We the People have zero confidence in him.
Fox News has put the terms of this negotiation up on a graphic that hits all the key points, and it is a horror show of bad policy.

Going through this piece by piece, it’s hard to find one thing that would be constituted as a “win” for anyone who believes in securing the Southern Border.
 – [A]n increase of 50,000 green cards a year represents a large spike in legal immigration amid the worst illegal immigration crisis in the nation’s history. How does that make sense?
– The second bullet point is also simply another increase in legal immigration. Why do the adult children of H1-B holders need to be automatically granted legal status?
– Under this deal, every single person who is released from custody into the interior would receive a work permit. That would escalate the number of people rushing to the border because the chances of not only getting in illegally but also being given work authorization would be greatly increased compared to the current situation.
– Next, there’s spending for lawyers for mentally incompetent illegal aliens, which [We the People] pay for, and then we get to the supposed “wins” for border hawks. The [Regime] would be able to release 5,000 illegal immigrants into the interior a day while also giving them work permits as mentioned above. Again, we might as well start running ads in Central America telling people to come cross the border.
The only possible improvement comes last, which would be restricting parole (i.e. being released into the interior) for those who don’t cross at a port of entry.
But what does “restrict” mean in this context?
This obviously is a communist/globalist trick. So, actually there are no possible improvements in this immigration deal.
This is one of the dumbest, most counter-productive immigration deals ever, which means it is an absolutely perfect representation of the modern GOP. What is the point of voting for this?
Final thoughts: Uniparty shenanigans plain and simple.
