I'm assuming that's what happened, because Republicans all stopped talking about the caravan, and all that changed in the interim was Democrats won the House.

(33,643 posts)They are depicted as 'Investigators' ... who are being sent by 'House Democrats'.
Thus ... 'the House Democrat ... Investigators'.

mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)Are, in fact, Democrats. If they definitely ARE, then House Democratic Investigators would be more correct.
If the investigators are a separate entity (as depicted by the dudes in the Holmes outfits), then they may or may not be 'Democrats', although SENT by House Democrats to investigate.
In which case, House Democrat Investigators ... would be correct.
Also ... you're out of your element!
HuskyOffset
(888 posts)but you're still wrong. If the investigators were sent by House Democrats, it would be: House Democrats' Investigators (the investigators belong to the House Democrats.)
There is one way it works though: if the Investigators were sent to investigate the House Democrats, then it would indeed be: House Democrats Investigators. I think. It's still a little clumsy. Saying: the Investigators of the House Democrats would be more clear in that case.
I think we've probably exhausted the subject now, having thoroughly beaten it to death. I think Walter would be proud of us, although he would keep going. And then, out of nowhere, some nihilists would ambush us.

Fair Enough ... though I might still argue it works grammatically, even w/o the explicit possessive you've insisted upon (even if it is ambiguous as written, as you point out indirectly), but ... yeah ... we covered it

(62,270 posts)Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants, they're asylum seekers. 90% of them are denied and put on the other side of the border. The other 10% of them have very valid claims that the US will look at.
