Don’t even bother with plan A, we all know how that will go
Both options are those already being widely discussed. These are not new options.
1- Let the far-right in the House be openly, wantonly racist about immigration, or
2- Discharge petition, assuming it can collect enough signatures from a non-crazy segment of the Republican party.

It is very common to persist in contacting your reps until you hear an answer from them, at least in big topics. If you contacted them earlier this week, do it again. (For Americans, obviously) [https://www.house.gov/](https://www.house.gov/)
edit: even given 95% of what they wanted on immigration enforcement, House Republicans were not interested. Under normal circumstances, the House and Senate will pass bills back and forth two or three times, and if they are 95% there will have a joint committee session to get the last 5%. *Especially* on a major item like immigration enforcement or reform. That the House Republicans dismissed the bill out of hand without even reading it or seeing a Senate vote should tell you all you need to know — they are making this a campaign issue for Trump.
Kudos to my rep Greg Murphy. He must’ve agreed with my phone msg to his office that Mike Johnson is a twit.
Fingers crossed, make it happen.
If the Americans burn em I think they should open a new front and march on Moscow. Fuck it.
They might have 20 but so far I haven’t seen a single one.
And while I believe the Republicans are the most to blame, I’m disgusted with both parties
They’re just using immigration as a decoy cover for doing Russia’s bidding blocking Ukraine aid.
The GOP is a Russian asset.
How many times are we going to repeat the same process we’ve been at for over the months before recognizing it’s insanity to expect a different result?
Make plan B the default moving forward at the first sign of any bad faith obstructionist tendency.

Then do it. And do it quickly.
Git ‘er done! Chop chop!
