This bill was an election year stunt by Kevin McCarthy to look tough so he’d get grass root support for his run as GOP leader in the house. Evidence: He had his PAC run commercials on radio nationwide taking about how “Congressman Kevin McCarthy and President Trump” are tough on border security. This bill existed so he could run those commercials.
I guess the first line of the 4,000 word essay indicates this author suspects the CA Congressman’s true intentions:
It took several days after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy....
publicly announced introduction of a new bill......
before the text of the proposed legislation became available.
McCarthy waited to the nth hour. Now it is very late to amend the bill and present it to the Senate.
