@PeteButtigieg on the GOP's cynical border sabotage:
"You've got the Congressional GOP, talking about the border, every chance they got. So you would think that they would be interested in addressing it. And yet, when [there was] a bipartisan bill put together by one of the most conservative members of the Senate and Democrats...it looked like there was going to be a chance to do something real, with real resources at the border. Only for Donald Trrump, who's not even an elected official to come in and kill it with the chill that he put on Congressional Republicans. So yeah, we can either solve problems or have them be political footballs."

He played them like a fiddle on this last night. Beautifully executed.
Maddow on Britt’s rebuttal: She was one of the senators who was involved in the negotiations to create a border bill. She helped create the bill. And then voted against it when Trump called on Republicans to pull the plug on the bill that they themselves negotiated

Immigration like several issues is a political weapon and it's not meant to be solved. For every immigration bill there are provisions within them of pet projects/funding that get passed that most are unaware of. Both sides (#bothsides) had times where they had the presidency and control of congress and did nothing on the issue other than deportation. Most of the folks in congress are highly educated attorneys. They could solve this if they wanted to but they need juicy red meat when its election season and voters always talk a bite.
