Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says the package of proposed border security reforms Republicans unveiled Monday is a “total non-starter” that will only imperil the chances of passing money for the war in Ukraine.
He slammed the proposal for being largely drawn from the House-passed Secure the Border Act of 2023, which didn’t pick up a single Democratic vote in the lower chamber.
“If Republicans inject partisanship into otherwise bipartisan priorities, that is only going to make it harder to avoid a shutdown,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “A group of Senate Republicans released a proposal for border security that they want in exchange for Ukraine funding, and they know full well what they came up with is a total non-starter.”
The new Senate GOP proposal would require the Department of Homeland Security to resume construction of the border wall, reform U.S. asylum laws, crack down on the administration’s use of humanitarian parole to release unlawful migrants into the United States, and prohibit migrants from requesting asylum in the United States if they first pass through a safe third country.

So many necks so little rope
Shut her down.
Fine, then make any funding for Ukraine a non starter and stick to it.
No money for Ukraine because RATs are never going to allow any border security no matter what Bill you put it in.
Ukraine already is a hot pile of rubble and continuing funding for a losing cause is only enriching the corrupt people running this scam at the expense of all the people that have been dying for it.
Stop the funding and stop the war. It is that easy and the GOP is going to continue to lose as long as they provide RATs with everything they want. They aren’t fooling the voters anymore.
der Schmuckster Schumer must have his nose so far up biden's @ss that his glasses are caught in Joe's diaper.
Pretty much nailed it.
They aren’t fooling the voters anymore.….some are still easy to fool, sadly. But I think that number is dwindling.
And as we both know, the foolishness is how the GOPe gets elected.
