Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, lashed out at Republican leadership over the botched bipartisan border deal that Republicans are planning to shoot down Wednesday afternoon.
"The bill is flawed from top to bottom," Paul told Fox News Digital in an interview. "No conservatives in the Senate will vote for this. No conservatives in the House are going to vote for it. The House speaker says it's dead on arrival. It really shows incredibly bad strategy on Senate Republican leadership to bring this up at all."
Paul made his comments after Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday afternoon he thinks it's time for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to step down, arguing the longstanding leader should have walked away from supporting the border bill negotiations with Democrats and Biden administration officials....snip...
"The Republicans who vote for this are going to be pilloried by Republicans at home," Paul said. "So, there's really no good logic in doing it this way. And I think it was because basically Sen. McConnell, Sen. [Chuck] Schumer and President Biden … they want to send more of our money to Ukraine. This was always sort of a sideshow for them in order to get what they really want, which is sending more of our money overseas."

GOP Leadership is an oxymoron.
Bill Summary:
1. Means to save a few foreigners of color
2. Means to kill about 20,000 Russians

a bunch of self-proclaimed ‘Christians’
We should not let the Democrats frame the argument, calling this a “bi-partisan border bill.” This is Amnesty 2.0, there are so many holes on the enforcement side, nothing currently occurring at the border would change, but Biden and Mayorkas could claim they are following the law.
How about letting Trump try to bring peace to Ukraine?
If he succeeds, tens of thousands of lives will be saved.
If he fails, Trump becomes less likely to win in November.
I am tired of Republican “leaders” playing stupid, like “I didn’t see this coming” lies. Every damn one of you KNEW Joe Biden was and is a catastrophe and yet EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU LET HIM STEAL THE 2020 ELECTION! This country NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION TO BEING WITH YOU USELESS BASTARDS!
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
So, right now, there is a law on the books that Biden can use to immediately suspend the illegals coming across our border. We don’t need any new law superceding existing law, Senators.
Asking Congress to pass a new law is an attempt to shift blame away from himself for the border disaster.

Tell that to Lankford...
Trump ran with Mike Pence.
How many votes did Pence add to their total?
Lankford on 13-year-old consent:
a good litmus test: If you’re on the same page as upChuck Schumer, you’re wrong.....
ask Marco Rubio how that worked out for him....
you can depend on Mitch the Turtle for this
Paul is right, it was incredibly stupid. And right on cue, President Methuselah trotted out and blamed the ‘MAGA Republicans’ as failing to help solve the border crisis. And the MSM lapped it all up, ignoring that president poopy pants can shut the border if he chose to.
Shame on McConnell, and more so on Schumer. Not everything is a deal to fund something. The right thing to do is to help stop an invasion.
Yep, Mitch is running the GOP into a ditch.
“Page unavailable”
As much as anything it is an attempt by the Senate rino’s and never Trumpers to rescue Traitor Joe. Lankford’s traitors have given the rats and MSM a talking point and narrative, “the bi-partisan border security bill”. Shameless traitors the lot of them.
My apologies for the defective link address.
Shame on McConnell, and more so on Schumer.
++++++++++
Don’t agree with your statement. Schumer is scum and I expect scumbag behavior from scum. McConnell, in theory, is on our side. McConnell, swinging the bat for the other team, makes him a traitor. He is even more despicable than Schumer which is quite a feat to pull off.
What a sleaze bag he is.
