That's the situation we are in right now. And it sucks.

Oh and the fact that Republicans aren't willing to do anything is sort of a given, but it's the biggest reason nothing is happening.
What’s missing here though is the accountability, not just on immigration, but on all other issues the country is facing now, and Biden and Harris need to be more aggressive on accountability, because our country is at a stage where we can’t afford to sit back and watch.

Manchin and Sinema will eventually cost Democrats the Senate and the House because of their inability to govern. But they also know they can get away with it because no one will make them accountable for it.
