Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-New York) faces the challenge of leading the questioning of top immigration officials at the peril of angering the White House.

The hearing is being run by a Republican because they are in the majority in the House. How willing he is to break with the rest of the Republican party is a bit dubious; the racism has become a core principle of theirs, and any challenge to it tends to result in difficulty winning a Republican primary.

There are huge cultural barriers to direct intentional human consumption of insects in the US and Europe. I will be very surprised if this can actually be achieved
