On Wednesday, Republican Rep. James Comer used his posture as chair of the House Oversight Committee to hold a listening to with the ludicrous title “The Biden Administration’s Regulatory and Policymaking Attempts to Undermine U.S. Immigration Legislation.” However for him, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas was there.
Crockett stepped into the spotlight this earlier calendar year by adeptly detailing the political theater and hypocrisy of Republicans’ stunt hearings—and Wednesday was no different. Through her talking time, she rapidly known as out the Republican Occasion:
Republicans are not able to do the simple task that we are intended to do. You see, in two times we are scheduled to shut down. They can not determine out how to do a spending plan, because we are six months driving, but by some means they are going to fix this advanced difficulty of immigration.
I significantly doubt it.

“President Biden has attempted to give condition and area governments and nonprofits federal assets to help momentary food items, shelter, and other providers,” she continued, “but MAGA House Republicans are refusing to give these towns and states people methods. President Biden has tried using to set 1,300 more Border Patrol agents at the border to support, but Republicans have obstructed that ask for.”
Right after that, Crockett minimize correct to the main of the issue: “Honestly, I are not able to explain to if y’all are for something other than obstruction and cruelty.”
Crockett also took her state’s governor, Republican Greg Abbott, to job for his current comments lamenting not being authorized to shoot unarmed migrants at the border.
