Amanda Marcotte : GOP immigration bill was a wish list of anti-immigrant policies they've been demanding for years .

She says it's hard to square the circle between "we're in immediate danger!" and "but we won't do a damn thing to change that" Marcotte says GOP leaders and right-wing media are using conspiracy theory to justify inaction on immigration.

Amanda Marcotte : Republican voters reject all evidence that shows Biden is trying to slow down migrants.

She says the migrants are mostly people from Central America who are fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries.

Marcotte says it's flat-out racist to argue these folks are incapable of knowing their own minds and thus must be pawns of a Democratic conspiracy.
