   While bashing some Republicans for not getting on board with the   
   Senate immigration bill unveiled over the weekend, MSNBC host Al   
   Sharpton used the word "invasion" Monday to describe the border   
   crisis, which some liberals found to be highly controversial.   
      
   President Biden and politicians from both the Democratic and   
   Republican parties have touted the deal as a bipartisan compromise   
   to secure the border. However, many Republicans argue that not only   
   is this deal insufficient, but Biden already has the necessary   
   ability to take action to secure the border. One of their main   
   critiques is that it would include Title 42-type authority that   
   would only be mandated if numbers at the southern border exceeded   
   5,000 migrant encounters a day. Democratic California Sen. Alex   
   Padilla is so far the only Democratic senator to have publicly   
   criticized the bill. He called the deal a "new version of a failed   
   Trump-era immigration policy that will cause more chaos at the   
   border, not less."   
      
   Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., went on "Morning Joe" to tout the bill   
   he helped negotiate and Sharpton asked him what could be done to get   
   voters to pressure their senators to support the bill.   
      
   Sharpton expressed urgency and channeled people "outraged" across   
   the country at the "influx of migrants," pointing the finger at   
   senators who aren't on board as the ones "allowing this to   
   continue."   
      
   BORDER DEAL PRICE TAG LIKELY TO COST MORE THAN $14 BILLION, BUT GOP   
   LAWMAKERS GROW RESTLESS TO SEE BILL TEXT   
      
   "What is being done to get the public to really rise up in various   
   states to say to their senators that they want to see the border   
   issue resolved?" he asked. "I mean, you’re getting migrants beating   
   up policemen in the streets of New York. You’re seeing an influx of   
   migrants all over the country that, frankly, have people outraged.   
   Couldn’t there be some kind of public pressure put in the next   
   couple of days in some of these senators’ states saying, ‘Why are   
   you allowing this to continue?’ Because at the end of the day,   
   senators have to deal with their voters."   
      
   After mentioning funding to Israel and Gaza, Sharpton went back to   
   the border, referring to the migrant crisis as an "invasion," a term   
   that sparks outrage among immigration advocates and the left.   
      
   "But the border, I mean, we’re looking every day at the invasion of   
   migrants, and they’re playing a time game with politics on this?"   
   Sharpton asked. "Couldn’t the pressure be put to bear in their home   
   states?"   
      
   HuffPost senior reporter Paul Blumenthal objected to the use of the   
   term "invasion" to describe the massive influx of people who are   
   coming across America’s southern border, in a Monday piece warning,   
   "Texas Makes Absurd Argument That Immigration Is 'Invasion.'"   
      
   "Once confined to the nativist far-right, this rhetoric of immigrant   
   invasion has surged into the Republican Party mainstream since   
   former President Donald Trump’s rise in 2016," Blumenthal wrote. He   
   went on to say, "This rhetoric has been deployed throughout American   
   history to fuel support for anti-immigration measures and most   
   notably in the Supreme Court’s opinion upholding the Chinese   
   Exclusion Act of 1882."   
      
   He went on to cite a quote from University of Baltimore School of   
   Law professor Matthew Lindsay who argued that such rhetoric has   
   "portrayed immigrants as faceless masses, who were racially   
   incapable of assimilating into American conceptions of liberty, and   
   would undermine the country’s system of free labor by taking work at   
   exploitative wages."
