The Case for a Budget Fight Over Illegal Immigration | 9/3/24
Description
We begin this post-Labor Day home stretch by cautioning about the need to avoid a sudden loss in November with no preparation or contingency. I also analyze Trump’s recent opposition to Florida’s Amendment 4 but unfortunate support for Amendment 3, which demonstrates that we get exactly what we fight for – no more, no less. Next, I’m joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who is laying down the gauntlet for his colleagues. Chip authored the SAVE Act, which would prevent noncitizens from voting. He believes that attaching it to the budget bill is the most realistic way we could engage in a pre-election policy fight on a meaningful issue that will increase the chances that Republicans win. We engage in a freewheeling discussion of how Republicans must make a big play in order to win this election, why Republicans are underperforming, and what to expect from House Republicans if they pull it out in November.
