Mitt Romney, other GOP senators want Biden to ‘finish the border wall’
Deseret News ^ | Wednesday, May 10, 2023 | Suzanne Bates

In a letter initiated by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, he and 14 other Republican senators pressed the Biden administration to “finish the border wall” as the country expects a surge in migrants this week with the ending of a pandemic-era immigration policy.

“Terrorists, traffickers and other bad actors know about our country’s failure to secure the border and they continuously exploit those weaknesses. There is a glaringly simple solution right in front you: we must finish the border wall,” reads the letter, a copy of which was provided to the Deseret News.

The letter, sent Tuesday, was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has come under fire by Republican lawmakers for his handling of the “crisis” at the southern border, brought on by a record number of migrant crossings.

So basically these RINOs did nothing until it would be good PR to be strong on border control. What a bunch of losers.

“The letter, sent Tuesday...”

When seconds count, help is only years away.

Mittens is so ridiculous. Trying to score points opposing a policy he supports.

These are the RINOs that prevented Donny from finishing the wall? Am I missing something?

Well that is grand.
Yet I wonder them why it didn’t get done under the Bush-McCain-McConnel-Romney era…(actually under Trump as well I have to mention).

Talk is cheeeep.

“So basically these RINOs did nothing until it would be good PR to be strong on border control.”

Because both sides want an open border. It’s just that the Dem base accepts it.

IT is a glaring obvious fact that Mayorkas has allegiance to his HERITAGE and NOT TO HIS COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE.

The haters need to finish the thought. Defund the UN entirely, boot those third worlders in the ass and out of the U.S. They are the most worthless bunch of clowns on the planet next to the far-left Dung Beetle Party. There are 700,000 people wading across the Rio Grande to beg for asylum to escape from their bass turd UN member home country. The UN can’t even control their own member countries and those azhos are always whining about America. The UN has got to go. Use the money to buy diapers and cellphones and Lakers and Dodgers hats for the freeloaders wading across the Rio Grande to demand whitey subsidize their “American dream”.

A little late Mitt. Where where you when Congress was dragging their feet during Trump?

Mitt Romney’s VP nominee, as Speaker of the House, specifically denied Trump the use of the Secure Fence Act to build the wall.

And THEN he added language prohibiting the use of cement to build a wall.

I wonder if Romney has asked Paul Ryan about this. We all know he didn’t.

Because these people DO NOT WANT the flow to stop, which a physical barrier would have.
