In this Independent Sentinel article, M. Dowling argues that Republican failure to stop illegal immigration is not merely a matter of weak majorities or procedural roadblocks, but a reflection of what many GOP lawmakers actually support.
- The article points to Oklahoma, where Republicans reportedly hold a 40-8 majority in the state Senate but still could not muster more than 14 votes for a proposal denying Medicaid to illegal aliens.
- Dowling cites Daniel Horowitz’s argument that many Republicans support illegal immigration as long as illegal aliens do not have criminal records.
- The piece challenges the common GOP excuse that immigration failures are caused by the filibuster, narrow congressional margins, or insufficient power.
- Horowitz argues that the Freedom Caucus is the only serious force inside the Republican Party pushing against this trend.
- Dowling adds that some Democrats run as Republicans, particularly in red states, which helps explain why Republican supermajorities often fail to govern conservatively.
- The article frames this as evidence that GOP inaction on immigration is intentional rather than accidental.
- The broader implication is that conservative voters should stop assuming more Republican seats automatically mean stronger border or immigration enforcement.
- The piece concludes with a sharp question aimed at readers: given these numbers and outcomes, can the argument really be disputed?
