Not surprising since the Republican party has fallen into a pit of extremism with no clear policies.

Their policy is to kill the woke mind virus. Why, do you support the woke mind virus?

  Wait, I thought conservatives were critical of Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. Good to see you support it. Also, every time I hear about immigration reform, why is it always being pushed by liberals and not conservatives? There's a lot of sarcasm in the above, but you get my point. Conservatives got us into our last two wars (though honestly, I'll excuse Afghanistan and agree the withdrawal was completely botched). Conservatives could absolutely get more funding to secure the southern border if they agreed to work with liberals to reform immigration and make a more streamlined legal process for immigration to this country. Maybe a points based system like Canada's, but a bit less permissive?

    I don’t see why we need a complete plan of how to let people in before we can secure it. Secure it first, then figure out who to let in. It’s as if you were in control of IT for a company and had discovered your networks were filled with hackers, but refused to do anything about it until you had a plan for how to allow future new hires access. Secure the walls, kick out the unauthorized, then grant new authorization as needed. It’s obvious, really.

      Come on man, you have to realize that the dems want to reform immigration as badly as the republicans want to crack down on illegal immigration. If you work together, it's a win win where both sides get what they ostensibly want. I suspect the truth of the matter is republican politicians are terrified of being seen as pro any immigration.

        You don’t need to suspect. Their voting history is public information. Here’s Mitch Mcconnell’s: https://www.ontheissues.org/International/Mitch_McConnell_Immigration.htm https://www.ontheissues.org/International/Mitch_McConnell_Im... Note the several guest worker/etc. programs he has voted yes for. As for the borders, it’s beyond ridiculous that border patrol was ordered to stand down and watch immigrants stream in. It’s an offense to the many hard workers who put in the effort to come here legally. And liberals are finally staring to understand the issue, but it took conservatives hissing their huddled masses to the so called “sanctuary cities” for them to get it.
