"How Republicans plan to do so remains to be seen. One piece of legislation proposed, the Border Safety and Security Act, was among almost a dozen bills that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise pledged Republicans would bring to the floor in the first two weeks of their new majority. But the bill has yet to be brought to the floor because of reported disagreements within the party, as even a handful of dissenters have the power to derail legislation within such a narrow majority."
Sort of sounds like the Afganistan's Taliban troubles. Leadership looks so easy, until you get there.
I meant to say what I said. Your conjectures are your own.
to me it seems that you are happy about this news article? would i be wrong in assuming that? it confirms to you that democrats aren’t that bad on the border afterall?

Within the Republican party there are the Rinos of course. Same with the Democrats they don't always agree on everything.
Did you not read the entire article or just refused to acknowledge this part of it?
“Republicans have been taking action – we’ve got a lot of ideas inside Congress,” he said. “This is different than the Congress before. We’re just not going to write the bill and put it on the floor, we’re going to listen to the people that are on the border, we’re going to listen to border agents. We want the very best ideas.”

His posts have always indicated that he is a lefty that is soft on illegal aliens.

Sigh. This really isn't that hard. The only "plan" needed is to go back to how it was before puddle brain become POTUS: enforce existing laws. Not sure why Dems have such a hard time with the enforcement of laws. Perhaps it has something to do with padding their voting roles with the dregs of society.

What does this have to do with inability of the GOP to bring a border security bill to the table?

Funny how you are always missing the point, even when it's stated. Leadership isn't easy, as the House majority is now learning. It's so much easier to sit on the sidelines and heckle.
