As negotiations continue over the weekend, Republican senators express their optimism in using the purse strings of Congress to bring about change in the border policies. Senator John Cornyn, a stalwart Texas Republican, made it clear on “Fox News Sunday” that they are determined to use their leverage to shake things up and put a stop to the chaos at the border.
After a lengthy stalemate, the White House and the administration have finally become more engaged in bipartisan talks. Senator Cornyn emphasized that President Biden’s sudden interest in the issue is a stark contrast to his lack of action over the past three years. It seems that the GOP has managed to capture the President’s attention, and they are ready to make significant strides in addressing the border crisis.
The asylum and parole processes for migrants are among the remaining sticking points in the negotiations. Conservatives argue that these processes have only fueled more illegal border crossings and allowed those who enter the country to roam freely until their judicial proceedings. The Republican lawmakers are determined to overhaul these processes and put an end to the loopholes that have contributed to the surge in illegal immigration.
The Republican senators are standing firm and resolute in their mission to tackle the border crisis head-on. With their unwavering determination and leverage in Congress, they are confident that they will compel the Democrats and the Biden administration to finally enact policies that will crack down on the rampant illegal entries at the southern border.
