Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is blaming Republican senators for the creation and immediate collapse of the pro-migration bill that he secretly drafted with Democrat leaders.
“The reason we’ve been talking about the border is because they [GOP Senators] wanted to,” he told Politico, adding, “The reason we ended up where we are is the members decided, since it was never going to become law, they didn’t want to deal with it … I don’t know who is at fault here, in terms of trying to cast public blame.”
In reality, McConnell sent Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) to develop a migration plan that would help McConnell win more funding for the war against Russia in eastern Ukraine. This Ukraine-centered policy left Lankford without political support — or even expertise — in the negotiating room with a united bloc of Democrat immigration lawyers and investor-backed political operatives.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Chamber of Commerce)
McConnell needs to be removed as leader - now.
After two terms in the Senate you start to exponentially decay toward corruption and worthlessness to your state. You head toward serving your personal interests and those of your cronies.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse!
Lankford was so terrible, so terrible
Meanwhile if you're a citizen, good luck boarding a plane without a reaming from TSA.
It is a very artfully crafted piece of legislation to legalize, codify and taxpayer fund the illegal border policies Mayorkas has instituted.
The 5000 average /8500 max daily people crossing is only the start. It actually funds and enables the diversion of illegals into border processing centers with a limit of 1500 illegals per day per port of entry processing center. Oh and by the way, there is no real mechanism in place to accurately track the number of border crosses and system is run by people who are activists with no qualms about cooking the books on the head count and there is no oversight mechanism to keep them honest.
This diverts the flow of illegals to ports of entry where they can be processed and transported away from the border and into the country out of the public eyes to hide the flood from the American people to fool us during the election year .
$2.3 billion goes to NGOs to transport the illegals from around the world to the border and to the ports of entry so we are taxpayer funding the human trafficking into the country .
It also pays form more activists to process the illegals in an expedited fashion and move them into the heartland quickly and covertly to avoid the negative PR of large groups gathered together.
it's really very devious and carefully crafted plan to legalize and efficiently recruit illegals from all around the world, transport them to the border, get them processed into the country at the border in a quasi legal fashion and then transport them all across the country under the radar screen as secretly as possible and then get them established with tax payer funded welfare benefits to the tune of $9000 per month in places like Chicago and NYC.
If you’ve ever met some this politicians, stupid is a far far better explanation then wicked!
It also had 5 billion for Hamas.
“Lankford was so terrible, so terrible”
Lankford negotiated the border deal with the Democrats like John Kerry negotiated the Iran deal during the Obama administration. They gave everything to the opposition. Everything.
Here’s the problem 37 morons voting for a moron ,He was reelected as the Senate Republican Leader in 2022. The vote was 37-10.
“Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends.”
I wonder if the Republicans are stupid enough to wade into the weeds with the old liar and try to talk policy.
Why can’t they just use common logic and point out to the American people that the border was opened the day Biden took office and there have been eight million illegals that were ushered into the country before the bill ever was negotiated.
And that Trump built a wall and secured the border.
Buh bye Mitch.
They can lock arms and dance out of the senate on their way out for all I care..
they both gotta go.
This bill was set up to handcuff Trump if elected.
Lankford is an open borders supporter. He was working on DACA back in the day. He has a history of favoring some forms of amnesty. Mitch picked the correct Patsy.
Why in God’s name would anyone think a Senator not from a border state has a clue about what’s going on at the border or how many Americans are increasingly alarmed by the hordes of foreigners invading our country? Talk about “out of touch!”
McSchiester, you are done. Step down.
That’s because he controls the purse strings with his Senate Leadership Fund. He doles out millions to the candidates he approves of who toe the line…his. He withholds dollars to Trump-aligned candidates like Blake Masters, which is why we now have a Democrat majority in the Senate.
