They're A No On A Republican-Led Border Bill!

What are we gonna do? They ain't supporting our bipartisan bill.

There is no "open border."

There is no border crisis.

There is frustration with Congress doing far less legislation and having more time off than the average worker. Most average workers exceed 40 hours of work to survive.

Congress does a little over 24 hours a week in work time. They get at least 15 days of time off and never have to worry about losing a paycheck during their two year or six year term as a House member or Senator.

This is a disgraceful attempt of protecting white supremacy through a xenophobic ploy to scapegoat migrants.

Fentanyl is killing white Americans faster and the U.S. government which is 75% white is more concerned about trying to blame immigrants for the crisis. It can be solved with sanctions on manufacturers of chemicals and drug makers.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) all support giving our taxpayer money to Israel. They rather keep pouring billions of our money to a country that continues commit a genocide and stir up tensions in the Middle East. The U.S. will be driven into a conflict with Iran because of Israel's bullshit.

These three senators support white nationalism. 

Damn shame that Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) all take money from AIPAC. It is a shame all of them are beholden to a foreign agent of the Israeli government.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, these three senators want to curb migrants seeking refuge in the United States. Of course, those coming from the global South where America's influence is waning.

The bill will offer Israel $14.5 billion in military aid, $10 billion in Ukraine military aid, $10 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza, West Bank and Ukraine, a temporary pause on asylum seekers, give the president powers to close the U.S.-Mexican border if migrant entry exceeds the daily limit, unspecified Taiwan military assistance, upgrades to military bases in the Middle East to prevent drone attacks, strengthen military presence in the Red Sea, acknowledge a possibility of establishing a Palestinian state and establishing citizenship to Afghans who aided the U.S. during the previous war.

The deal includes provisions to raise standards for asylum screening and to process claims faster, ends the practice known as “catch and release,” and provides a new authority to close the border to most migrants when crossings reach a set threshold. It also seeks to make it easier for migrants to get work authorization and eliminate the immigration court backlog.

Republicans are opposing a solution to the problem they've complaining about.

The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component.

Lankford called it “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border and give future administrations the effective tools they need to stop the border chaos and protect our nation.”

Not like we have real issues at home.

1. Homelessness

2. Gun violence

3. Abandon homes and businesses

4. Political extremism

5. Crumbling roads and bridges

6. Extreme weather 

The Republicans can't run on the economy. After the January jobs report came out, it shocked the junk food media. Over 350,000 jobs and the feds are no longer raising the alarm about a recession and inflation. Republicans hyped up recession talk for the last three years.

Now that another federal election is underway, Republicans dust off their old playbook and start driving up the migrant caravans. The immigration crisis as Fox relentlessly promotes.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) already declared the bipartisan bill dead on arrival.

Conservative senators have been mobilizing against the deal, egged on by former President Donald Trump, who has told Republicans to reject it if it isn’t “perfect.” He has also falsely suggested that the bill would allow 5,000 illegal border crossings per day as he seeks to wield border chaos as a political weapon in a likely 2024 rematch against President Joe Biden, who quickly endorsed the bill.

The deal was met with near-immediate rejection by House Republican leadership as well as several members of the House Freedom Caucus and other conservatives in Congress. 

So in other words, we reject a solution to the problem. We will just continue to scream, yell and bemoan about the issue. We will continue to go push more misinformation and distractions to scare up votes.

Did you know washed up politician Sarah Palin and pedophile rocker Ted Nugent went to Texas on behalf of Steve Bannon and Donald J. Trump?

Did you know that Tucker Carlson went to Russia to meet with Edward Snowden, Tara Reade and federation president (dictator) Vladimir Putin?

Anyway, House Republicans are vowing to oppose it. Aiding them in this mission is Donald J. Trump. He demands Republicans sink the bill. Now Republicans House members in the junk food media are screaming that the 370 page, five month long bill was "rushed through."

Lankford has repeatedly expressed exasperation at some Republicans in recent weeks, indicating he is frustrated at them for repeatedly saying that action is needed at the border but refusing to jump on board with his push out of political expediency for Trump.

“It is interesting ― Republicans four months ago would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel and for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So we actually locked arms together and said, ‘We’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in law,’” Lankford said during a recent Sunday show appearance. “And now it’s interesting, a few months later, when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential election year.’”

The deal released Sunday also includes a provision that would provide a pathway to permanent legal status for Afghan nationals who assisted U.S. troops, the FEND Off Fentanyl Act to require the president to sanction transnational criminal organizations engaged in fentanyl trafficking, and new hiring authority for the Department of Homeland Security.
