Trump warns Republicans not to fall into the “trap” of the border bill and urges them to avoid stupidity
Former President Donald Trump Slams Senate’s Bipartisan Border Bill
Former President Donald Trump unleashed his criticism on the Senate’s bipartisan border bill, labeling it a ”trap” set by Democrats for Republicans.
Senators finally unveiled the long-awaited border bill on Sunday afternoon, which is expected to face a full Senate vote soon. However, its passage remains uncertain, particularly as it continues to lose support from Republicans.
“Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat, would vote for this horrendous Border Bill,” Trump passionately expressed on Truth Social, his preferred social media platform. He emphasized that the bill grants shutdown authority only after 5000 daily encounters, while the existing right to close the border immediately remains unutilized. Trump firmly believes that closing the border is an urgent necessity.
Trump further criticized the bill, stating that it serves as a “great gift” to the Democrats and a “Death Wish” for the Republican Party. He argued that it absolves the Democrats of their failures on immigration and the border, unfairly placing the blame solely on Republicans. Trump urged Republicans not to be “STUPID” and emphasized the need for a separate border bill that is not tied to foreign aid.
Later in the morning, Trump posted again, describing the border bill as “ridiculous” and a “highly sophisticated trap” designed to shift blame onto Republicans for the actions of the Radical Left Democrats. He warned Republicans not to fall for this ploy, especially with the upcoming crucial election.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Sets First Procedural Vote
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the bill will undergo its first procedural vote on Wednesday. However, some Republicans have already declared their opposition to the bill.
The $118 billion deal aims to tighten asylum requirements, potentially close the southern border under specific circumstances, and allocate billions of dollars to the border, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Nevertheless, the bill faces significant resistance in the Senate, with conservative senators expressing doubts about their support.
Senator Josh Hawley criticized the bill, claiming it promotes open borders and has already become a cause for celebration among Democrats. Similarly, Senator Marsha Blackburn firmly stated her refusal to vote for a bill that legalizes illegal immigration.
In the House, both House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise rejected the bill. Johnson declared it “dead on arrival” and even worse than anticipated, while Scalise slammed it as a magnet for more illegal immigration, vowing that it will not receive a vote in the House.
How does Trump believe that the lack of provisions to tighten asylum laws has contributed to the overwhelming influx of migrants at the southern border?
Border immediately is necessary to protect the country’s national security and prevent the entry of drugs and illegal immigrants.
Trump further criticized the bill for its failure to address the issue of asylum loopholes, which he believes have led to the overwhelming influx of migrants at the southern border. He expressed his disappointment in the lack of provisions to tighten asylum laws and reiterated his stance on the need for stricter immigration policies.
In addition to his concerns about border security, Trump also criticized the bill for neglecting to include funding for his long-promised border wall. He expressed his frustration with the lack of progress in securing the border and accused Democrats of prioritizing their own political interests over the safety of the American people.
“The Democrats in the Senate are playing games with our national security. This bill is a complete betrayal of the American people,” Trump asserted. He called on Republicans to reject the bipartisan agreement and stand firm in their commitment to secure the border and enforce immigration laws.
While the bipartisan border bill has received support from some Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Trump’s fiery statement and strong opposition could sway the opinions of many within the party. Given his popularity among Republican voters, his criticism carries weight and could potentially lead to a significant shift in the political landscape.
It remains to be seen how the Senate will respond to Trump’s remarks and whether they will amend the bill to address his concerns. However, his outspoken condemnation of the bipartisan border bill highlights the deep divisions within the Republican party when it comes to immigration and border security.
As the debate over the border bill continues, the ultimate decision will have far-reaching implications for the country’s immigration policies and national security. Whether the bill will pass or face significant revisions in response to Trump’s criticism remains uncertain, but what is clear is the ongoing struggles and disagreements surrounding this pressing issue in American politics.
