I don't think what you're saying is at odds with what I'm saying. In both our versions, this is a deliberate act by Congressional Republicans, and doesn't jive with the current narrative, that the President is somehow in charge of making this pass.

But again, this is something where the Republicans have lied to their base, stoked a fake immigration crisis using nativism, and is now forced to lie in a bed they made.

So this is what they get for stoking populist, nativist fear.
