Holding a nation hostage

[Toots_mcgee]

MCCONNELL told a closed meeting of Senate Republicans Wed that the politics of the border has flipped for Rs and cast doubt on linking Ukraine and border.

“When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us.”

“The politics on this have changed,” McConnell then told his GOP colleagues.

This is ALL about Trump.

McConnell referred to Trump as “the nominee” and noted the former president wants to run his 2024 campaign centered on immigration. And the GOP leader said, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”

“We’re in a quandary,” McConnell added.

Neither side wants to fix the border, they would both lose talking points.

there should be no back room "deal",,,what happened to the process of proposed legislation going through committee, everyone gets a copy and it's debated and voted up or down on the floor???

Exactly what is in this deal that stops the flow of illegals into our country

Doesn't seem like they want to do that either. They want to do nothing. So they can use it for their campaigns. It's all politics. Both sides.

Both sides? No. They have a deal. Only one side is catering to a mad man.

 

[straw09]

I have my doubts if the Democrats were actually serious, or if they knew the Republicans would pull this stunt.

From what I have heard about " The deal" they aren't solving anything. The legislation reportedly allows 5000 illegals a day to be released into the United States. That number should be ZERO

 

[straw09]

I wouldn't believe anything coming out at this time. No harm on releasing nothing but lies. Gives them an excuse not to get it done.

Oof.

Mark Lamb, an Arizona sheriff who running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican, said he had learned that migrants crossing the border illegally were being given $5,000 prepaid Visa cards.

Federal agencies denied knowledge of such a scheme and Lamb offered no evidence to support his claim on X, formerly know

These are the sort of made up BS that spreads like wildfire and become “MAGA facts”

Google "Newsweek border deal 5000"

None of these alleged provisions could be confirmed by Newsweek, as the text of the deal has yet to be officially released. Newsweek reached out to lawmakers involved with the deal via email for comment.

No,,,,,,they have an article that states the agreement includes 5000 immigrants per day allowed before some enforcement threshold is met

the deal would allegedly include setting an allowance of 5,000 migrant crossings per day into the United States, grant work permits to the adult children of H-1B visa holders, and automatically grant work permits to undocumented migrants as soon as they are released from custody.

Here's the bottom line on immigration. It has gone to a level of insanity under Biden. His policies have cause it. Post all you want, the numbers tell the story.

President Biden vows to 'shut down the border' if Congress passes bipartisan deal

President Biden said the border deal under discussion in the Senate would mark "the toughest and fairest" border reforms in U.S. history.

Biden vows to ‘shut down the border’ if Senate immigration bill is passed

But the House speaker said deal involving border security and aid to Ukraine is ‘dead on arrival’ in its current form

It only takes 1.37 seconds to corroborate this. Stop being willfully ignorant; it’s a schtick that is wearing thin.

"Misunderstood",,,,,he didn't say reports of the content of the legislation were incorrect did he????

Major changes will have to be made before the House would support it

much less President Trump

If that's an internet rumor all news outlets bought it because they all say that too.
