| The bill should tie Ukraine funding to deportations. Not one dime until at least 6 million illegals deported. Then, say, $10-15 billion for every 3 million deported after that. |

The GOP: “CRISIS ALERT! CRISISSISISIISIS…. Oh wait. NM. Our lord and savior Trump said not to worry about it.” |

| I'm still waiting to hear from those on the Right why it's okay for a former president to be issuing orders to the Leader of the House and the entire GOP on what they can and can't do. |

Why don’t Republicans listen to the truth? Murphy explains it to you like you are 5. “What the hell just happened? In October, Republicans demanded that Ukraine funding be paired with bipartisan border reforms. That these two things need to be combined. Democrats took them at their word. Americans took Republicans at their word. Republicans appointed Senator Lankford, their most conservative negotiator and serious legislator. A border hawk. My friends told me the Republicans were never going to agree to a bipartisan bill to fix the border. This is a set up. You shouldn’t go into the negotiating room. It’s a trap. We worked for months, everyday. We took Thanksgiving and Christmas off. But that was it. We met every Saturday. We met every Sunday. We saw that opportunity because Republican Senators told the country that if we could find an agreement with their appointed negotiator on border policy that they would support it, and they would support Ukraine.” |

Texas is teaching Joe how to close the border without Republican help. Joe is too stupid though. |

Bipartisan as in a reform bill written by Republicans who support open borders and Democrats who support open borders. |

Texas is just posing for cameras on one tiny part of the border. It has no effect except political propaganda. |

Republicans made demands, negotiated a deal with Democrats, but won’t vote for the deal they demanded. This is what Republicans have done consistently since 1990. They never deliver the votes for changes that they demanded. There is no point in ever negotiating with Republicans. They always act in bad faith. |

hit the nail on the head. a border security bill that includes expansion of green cards and expansion of HXXB visas dead on arrival was the only option. Democrats are clueless. |

Since November, speaker Johnson has consistently said “it needs to be substantially similar to the border bill we’d already passed otherwise it is DOA in the house” So establishment old-school senile Republicans in the Senate decided to ignore the base, and “negotiate” a bill that was mainly garbage and didn’t include anything from H.R. 2 This is not even remotely close to what was demanded. The demand was Ukraine aid for border restrictions—we don’t want to pour tens of billions into Ukraine but you do. We want the border restrictions passed, you don’t. Give us the border restrictions and we’ll give you the foreign aid. Yet the ultra-until-3-days-ago “compromise” gave them the Ukraine aid for what essentially would be a performative bureaucratic mess of non-restrictions. Teethless, so many loopholes, somehow included an increase in visas too. It was a joke, read the bill. It’s awful. |

Not to mention it didn’t even include any actual measures to restrict the border. Full of loopholes, a very vague and open to interpretation change of language that probably wouldn’t end up restricting asylum. Continued catch and release, further codified abuse of parole. Not even remotely similar to H.R. 2 |
