Suozzi’s win turns GOP’s immigration game on its heel

The story of the past week in immigration is the fact Republicans don’t want to solve the border “crisis,” because they want to run on it. And now, if Tuesday’s special election for New York’s 3rd District is any indication, it looks like voters are finally clueing in to how Republicans are refusing to actually tackle issues of governing.

On Tuesday night, recounting her discussions with voters in the lead-up to the special election, CNN’s Dana Bash said, “Several of [the voters] said to me that they don’t want to vote for the Republican, because it’s clearly impossible to get a solution on the issue of immigration. … And the fact that Republicans killed that bipartisan deal put them over the edge to vote for Tom Suozzi.”
