Senator Kyrsten Sinema has lashed out at critics of the Senate border deal. In her defense of the deal’s still-unpublished terms, however, the Arizona independent (formerly a Democrat) proves the point that the negotiators contemplate undercutting existing laws that require detention and rapid expulsion of illegal aliens. President Biden has all the authority he needs to address a crisis that he has caused by not using it.
It is quite something for Senators Sinema, James Lankford (the Oklahoma Republican leading the GOP side), and other dealmakers to blast their critics for peddling misinformation when they have yet to release the text of what they say they’ve agreed to. Great work if you can get it: Don’t show other lawmakers the terms, selectively leak parts of the agreement to friendly journos, and then complain that it’s the other side that’s not playing fair.
