Biden touted the bipartisan border bill as “a win for the American people,” calling it a “truly bipartisan initiative.” He called on the Senate to reconsider the bill, asking senators to “set politics aside” and for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to put the bill on the floor.

“We need to act,” Biden said, adding that Republicans in Congress needed to “show a little spine.”

      And yet, in the meantime he’s gone so far right on immigration that we’ll take decades to come back from that.

      Decades which will only see increased migration across the globe as people try to survive climate change.
