Essentially handed over the keys to the republican party to matt gates and lauren boebert. for us, as freshman coming, in we were getting ready to get sworn in, but obviously we ve been ready day one to get to work for american people to people on important issues but now we have essentially an effective speaker who is going to be governing and ineffective, very, very slim majority. so jeffries, really we ll week for all of us. let s talk about the concessions. one on the border security issue, with mccarthy pledging action here for holding hearings at the boarding itself, passing bills, what do you expect them to be pushing here? and what do you expect democrats to be able to fight back on? i mean, first mccarthy and the republicans are now really giving the car keys to the far-right maga republicans in the party. i really have no plan. so when it comes to issues around immigration, or the, border or helping working families, we ve seen in this last election that they really hav
Politics of the border and immigration. several bus loads of migrants arrived outside the naval observatory, which is the vice president s residence. these are the bus loads we have seen arriving nearly weekly from texas. this has been a plan of governor greg abbott. last night, it was 18 degrees when these migrants arrived. cnn was on scene to watch these i rivals. some of them arriving wearing nothing but t-shirts on their backs. they were greeted by migrant aid groups here in washington, d.c., which took them to local shelters and were able to give them blankets. we know that this border security issue has become so political. but there are human faces to this, which you very much did see and do see in those pictures there from last night. the biden administration waiting to see if title 42, what happens to that with the courts. currently, the supreme court is considering that issue. but the biden administration has said they do want that title 42 authority to lapse, which the
