The most obvious reason Republicans are spiking the immigration deal is that they don't want to undercut Donald Trump's ability to exploit the border as a campaign issue. But they also have another, less-obvious motivation: Republicans don't want to admit that the central promise of Biden's presidency - that he would restore moderation and unity - has been fulfilled.
Biden's campaign program was aggressively liberal, but his themes were vanilla. Biden promised to restore a sense of goodwill and common purpose, and his connection to the popular Obama administration insulated him from attacks on the party's post-2016 leftward turn.
