The news isn't a communications device for the president and congress. I don't believe that Trump forced his opinion on anybody. And if he did, then there would have to be more to that story, like what violent thing did he threaten to do to Mike Johnson if the legislation had passed? "You better listen to me boy." lol

The way I remember reading it was "a cap on ILLEGAL border crossings."

Why would we cap the legal crossings? That would not make sense, and would not be productive.

Not bad for us but bad for them, and that's ultimately bad for us too because we need a few of their votes.

I just don't see the Trump pressure.
