Usually when things aren't going well for the party, you start to see politicians saying they won't seek re-election. I tend to think in part that TWINPAC'S estimation is in part accurate.

The other part is the GOP is looking for someone to hang the blame on. The real problem here, is that it needs congress's approval to advance any changes in the migration laws, which would stop in it's tracks all the migration caravans now coming every year. It's more than just enforcing the laws on the books. The laws on the books are a good bit outdated, having been passed 40 years ago when we weren't dealing with this mass of humanity.

Trump found out it wasn't as easy as he thought...he's not a king. He used the pandemic to stem the flow but that ended. He too called on Congress to change the laws for seeking asylum. The courts pretty much shut down the things Trump wanted to do, ruling them unconstitutional. Biden has also called for new laws on asylum in order to have legal means that won't bounce as being unconstitutional.

What needs changed is what qualifies as the laws for asylum. You have to know that all these walking caravans have been talking to each other on the way, schooling the group on what to say to get in. What worked in the past isn't working today, even with the laws as they now stand. A tightening is needed in what qualifies one for asylum, which the Supreme Court has decided that Congress oversees that. The GOP is looking for a scapegoat, since they can't govern. It's election year and if they are blamed as the bottleneck that has prevented the changing of the laws, it will go poorly for the during the election. It is now the #1 issue for voters according to NPR.org .

Having said the house would turn down the bill they so claimed to be seeking they are now being seen as the bottleneck that prevented a new law on asylum that would limit the flow.
