Instead of moral posturing, they ought to try thinking for once. I'm glad the idiots were tested, and failed. Maybe they will learn from it.... lol... I can't believe I just said that.

President Biden has extended Democrats’ sanctuary city policies to the southern border. It’s not complicated; the two are connected.
Combined, Democrats have created a self-reinforcing crisis that is beyond their willingness to control. Instead, they are desperately trying to find someone else to solve what their leftist extremists won’t let them fix. Their hope now is that Sunday’s Senate bill will.
America is in the throes of an undeniable illegal immigration crisis that continues to break records under Biden. Illegal crossings over the southern border in December hit 250,000, 31 percent higher than November’s number (119,112) and 13 percent over December 2022’s total, which had been the previous record.
Of course, it is not just the numbers of illegal crossings alone; drugs too, especially fentanyl, are also pouring in. And among the illegal crossers, there are also criminals and terrorists in increasing numbers. Finally, there is the cost American taxpayers must bear: at least $151 billion according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
Yet bad as these are viscerally, there is another even more fundamentally (and constitutionally) galling issue. Current Washington negotiations are really about getting President Biden to simply do his job. America has been reduced to the point of having to haggle with its president over something he is supposed to be doing in the first place: Protect the border.
