I've said this before and will restate.
Both parties share blame in the immigration mess we are in. Some here will say it's all the GOP fault, they never want to negotiate etc. I'll agree that the GOP shares more blame in this current time (let's say 60-40, 70-30) but both parties had opportunities and (1) didn't want to negotiate or (2) wanted to propose something during election year vs the first 2 years when they owned the Presidency & Congress or (3) wanted to insert it into a non-related bill or (4) ad nauseum.
Specific to your point about GOP not wanting to negotiate because it'll help Joe? It's come up before recently and I'll refer you to my response at below link, see starting #9055 through #9061.

I'm going to move this to below Immigration thread. Let's continue to discuss there? and if not, np.
