    One thing I hate about border security compromises is just that it’s never enough for the right to shut up for even a day. The border could be the most secure anywhere outside of the Korean Peninsula and Republicans would still do ignorant stunts and gin up the rubes with sensationalist coverage. You’re just validating their framing.

      Democrats know this. But they have been given a chance to capitulate, look like they’re weak and have no plan, and be complicit in cruelty to the marginalized. They can’t resist.
