Using vulnerable human beings as pawns in acts of political grandstanding isn’t just bottom of the barrel behavior that should evoke disgust, it’s an assault on human dignity that should inspire anger. For Christians it has to be clearly named. Exacerbated by the power differential at play, it’s sinful & arrogant https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/migrants-texas-harris-house-christmas-eve-rcna63204?fbclid=IwAR0JFulcruPZGgFYREh_57fzwz_ZMVfXAzFsFTOYelm-iKS-jyL90h8gcP0&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Stephen Miller’s day is ruined.

The border policy hasn’t changed much in the last 40 years despite what Republicans try and sell you. Until Republicans agree to help pass workable, decent immigration laws, nothing significant will change. They just had their chance and blew it.

Fund the laws we have on the books for processing applications for migrants. Authorize and seat the judges needed, provide asylum-seekers with initial medical care, food and shelter, and provide legal assistance to adjudicate their requests.

When Republicans want to take action instead of posturing, they can be taken seriously.

Until then, I guess Republican politicians can go to the border and wander around aimlessly for photo shoots.

Court rejects GOP states' request to delay end of Title 42 border expulsions

Title 42, a public health law first invoked by the Trump administration, allows U.S. border officials to expel migrants without allowing them to request asylum.
