Hispanic Caucus urges new direction in immigration talks

The CHC’s Tuesday proposals also come as the group has been purposefully excluded from Senate negotiations on border policy, which reportedly have centered on ways to curtail asylum and further fortify the border without addressing calls to overhaul the legal immigration system and appeals to give longtime undocumented immigrants a path to apply for legal status.

First Palestinian Americans and now this, are the DNC trying to shoot themselves in the head vs the foot like they normally do?
- I think they really believe we're hostages and will vote blue no matter who.
  
  Well I mean, not voting or voting for a Republican would be demonstrably worse, so yeah. It's not like Trump is going to help Palestinians. He'll just openly support the genocide. The choices are action (or inaction) that directly harm you or vote for Biden who is not your ideal representative.
Sorry, Democrats are too busy trying to appeal to right-wingers to give a shit. They believe you'll vote for them anyway, so why bother?
- Republicans said they would only send aid to Ukraine if democrats created a border bill. Democrats and republicans created a border bill. Republicans in the House said they wouldn't bring it it to the floor not because it wouldn't pass but because it would and deprive them of an election issue during an election year. The failure of action is not with Democrats. It is with Republicans
  
  Somehow you completely misread my point; Democrats shouldn't have created this right-wing border bill in the first place!
