I think some of the Republican members of the house who voted for HR2 were sincere. But many were not and they did not have to be sincere because they knew the Senate would not take it up and they knew that Biden would veto it even if the Senate did take it up.

I think Biden might have been sincere in the recent effort he had led by those three senators from both parties.

But the revealed preferences of nearly all of our members of Congress is that they prefer the status quo to any proposed action. Whatever you see when you look at the border today, that is what most of them want.
