Jayapal tells fellow Dems not to 'out-Republican the Republicans' on immigration amid funding talks
Fox News
The head of the House Progressive Caucus on Thursday told her fellow Democrats that they should not try to "out-Republican the Republicans" on immigration and border security.
Republicans – who had demanded stricter border security measures to combat the ongoing migrant crisis – have said there have been positive signs from the talks and suggested a deal could be within reach. But left-wing Democrats and immigration activists have accused the White House of "selling out" migrants and asylum seekers.

Jayapal, the chair of the House Progressive Caucus, responded on X, formerly Twitter, to a tweet by Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent, who said sarcastically that Republicans had promised not to attack President Biden over the border as part of the deal.
