    Losing proposition for the President. Smart move is to just pull funding. Pull federal funds for these states national guard.

    Why would tRumpublicans stand against a soloution to the crisis on the boarder? :wtf:

    Appaling: Romney accuses Trump of trying to stop bill to blame Biden


    Republicans Flail On Bipartisan Border Deal After Trump Orders Them To Reject It
    WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are flailing over how to proceed with tackling the border crisis — an issue they have been demanding action on — after leaving the page." data-wf-tooltip-position="bottom" style="--inline-xray-tooltip-arrow-pseudo-marginleft: auto;">Donald Trump this week personally directed them to reject any bipartisan border deal because he doesn’t want President Joe Biden to get a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

    It IS "appealing" that a candidate cares more about his campaign more than finding a solution to our boarder crisis. Thousands of people will suffer, our cities will be overwhelmed ... because trump needs a win. :wtf:

    It would be a win for Biden. He would get money for Ukraine and money to process more illegals, and as chief executive, could continue to not enforce the border. I don't see how Biden could lose if he gets any sort of deal.

    Yep, you know how the system works. If it's a good bill, it would get through.

    If your house is on fire, do you send the cops?

    There is no BUT there. Trump has said so publicly.

    When McConnell caved today, it was the end.

    The GOP is not interested in immigration reform. (This should come as no surprise, as they have either opposed or torpedoed every proposal in the last 0 years, including their own).

    And so, the GOP will stand in the way of allocating resources to enforcement (as they already have),

    But Mexihate will fill the right wing airwaves, Trump has always campaigned on it, and now Abbott is putting on his own clown show.

    You are aware that it's not just those governors, it's also the mayors of chicago, NYC, Denver and other cities that are griping and Biden hasnt' done a thing to help. Not. A. Thing.

    Did you miss the thread about the Mexihate coming from Chicago's black people? The left loves their illegals until they have to share a city with them.

    Biden isn't King of the SCOTUS. They have ruled. Again, these GOP mayors, governors really should learn civics and how our government works.

    Do you notice how they keep dodging the question

    It’s almost like this is political football and they don’t really care about fixing healthcare education fiscal responsibility child welfare immigration reform anything.
