going to do nothing to stop the flow of people coming across our border. republicans should be ashamed of themselves. i introduced legislation for a discharge position to require the enforcement of title 42 so we can turn people away from the border rather than forcing the ridiculousness of the people. again the biden administration is enforcing title 42. that, since biden took office, over 510,000 people have been expelled under that rule. that is nearly twice as many people as those who were apprehended. and while congressman ship roy is complaining about wearing masks to mark you know who else has to wear them? migrants. according to a statement obtained by the washington post. immigration and customs enforcement also told the washington post they do widespread testing of people who stay in custody. and while texas given a great and that is blocking local governments from imposing their own mandates saying texas is
support for the hyde amendment in every legislation and every appropriations bill and that has been bucked by the majority party. so, i think they should be concerned and we re hoping that, you know, that he realizes his longstanding support for the hyde amendment should go forward and we should not be federally funding abortion. jackie: really quickly, as far as the point that it was once bipartisan, as far as his compromise, where did this bipartisan go? it used to bipartisan even ann wagner s born again survivor abortion survivor bill, that has had bipartisan support in the past. we put it forward. we even did a discharge position and all of the republicans have signed onto the discharge petition but no democrats have. about. jackie: interesting. all right.
i don t know of any other democrat he called. i m hoping that he does. maybe i hope he listens to someone. we really need to address this issue in a bipartisan manner. we had a bipartisan bill that was two votes shy of having a discharge position so we could get it on the floor to vote for it. we couldn t do that. in the past, the senate has come up with a bipartisan bill. it s been the republicans on the house side that blocked a bipartisan bill on immigration. we need to get this done for the benefit of the american people and stop plagying with tit. i would add, wolf, we re talking about reasonable border control. no one don t believe the hype of what he said that all democrats want all the free flow. we want legal immigration. we don t want to end legal immigration. we want people to go through a process for asylum. i think that s what s being taken needs to take place.
does it have to happen by the end of next month? the month after. how do you get that done? and it seems to me the freedom caucus is holding members who want to work in a bipartisan way like yourself hostage. they re always threatening. when is it time for i don t even want to say moderate members but just responsible members to say to the freedom caucus and the leadership if necessary and i know you tried to do it with the discharge position but enough is enough and we will take this to where it has to go and leave them behind even though the president may be sour on what you propose. you are in a position to lead. when are we going to see that happen? i think you re seeing it now. we started with a rule first. i just spent time with the parliamentarian to learn the things the freedom caucus has gotten good at. how do you use parliamentary procedures to take down rules or
government policy is, that s another thing. until after the midterm, the house is expected to vote tomorrow on a compromise bill crafted by moderate republicans. you and i have been talking this for a long time. i think i have said this a few times in the last several weeks. is it likely to happen? it is. the vote could slide back, but paul ryan promised them that they would get a vote on the bill. if they set aside the discharge position. that s how we started with the conversation. that vote is going to happen. republicans seem like they will be wasting more time on this issue because as of now, it does not seem like the moderate who is are driving the bus on this bill are going to have the votes. the discussion happening now among republicans is whether to
