You need to convince the general public, not congress. When the public is clamoring for it, congress will follow. That is the simple truth of it.
And yet the public is clamoring for the border to be under control but nothing happens.
We live in a republic. That means this so called august, bicameral body known as Congress has a duty to do what is right and not just because a mob tells them to do it. It is their job to check and balance the executive branch when it gets out of line. The first act in checking an out of balance tyrant is impeachment by the House. That they don’t do this is a testimony to the fact that they are lazy cowards at best and/or may be part and parcel of the very corruption they refuse to indict.
As for me, I will do what is right and put my faith in the Lord.
