The narrative by Democrats and mainstream media is that Republicans in general and conservatives in particular want to do everything they can to stop people seeking asylum in the United States. They even get painted as wanting to break up families and keep children separated from their parents.
This is why H.R. 6195 and S. 3091 are so important. The bills, introduced by Representative Dave Brat (R-VA) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), would keep children and their parents together while waiting for a hearing about their asylum status. It would also act to expedite the process for all asylum seekers while putting those with children on a faster track.
That certainly doesn’t sound like the kind of bill Republicans would introduce if you’re listening to mainstream media’s narrative. It also breaks the stereotype assigned to Tea Party favorites like Representative Brat and Senator Cruz.
Known as the “Protect Kids and Parents Act,” it would increase the number of authorized immigration judges as well as Homeland Security employees to allow for faster processing of more asylum applicants.
My Take
Senator Ted Cruz introduced the Senate version that was instantly attacked by leftist media. It wasn’t because of substance that the bill was attacked. It was because of the bill’s originators. It’s important to note that the “who” is more important than the “what” when it comes to media coverage.
For example, President Trump’s tariffs on China are straight out of Senators Chuck Schumer’s and Bernie Sanders’ playbooks. Schumer went so far as to reluctantly praise the President over it, but mainstream media and leftist news outlets continuously run stories about the negative effects of the President’s tariffs. Had the identical action been taken by President Obama, the media’s reaction would be the opposite of what it is today.
When Dave Bratt and Ted Cruz try to keep asylum-seeking families together, their motives are instantly questioned by leftist media because it doesn’t fit the stereotype attached to them. If substance mattered to the media, they’d support the bill.
