Senate conservatives turn up opposition to ‘stinking pile of crap’ border deal
The Hill ^ | January 24th, 2024 | by Alexander Bolton

Senate conservatives are ratcheting up their opposition to an emerging bipartisan deal that would fund Ukraine and address border security, declaring it a “stinking pile of crap” that will allow millions more migrants to cross into the country without resistance.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) argued at a press conference Wednesday that former President Trump was able to drive the number of migrants crossing the border to just more than 500 people a day “without this stinking pile of crap bill.”

He accused Republicans negotiating the legislation of only wanting to provide money for the war in Ukraine and said they will merely provide the semblance of border security reform to achieve that objective.

He said the emerging Senate border deal may give a green light to letting up to 5,000 migrants per day into the country, and it provides an incentive to millions more people to stream across the border.

“It’s not that they’re bad at negotiating. It’s that they want this outcome and this outcome is terrible for the American people,” Cruz fumed.

After a few more years of this will there be any Mexicos left still living in Mexico?

Texas. Oklahoma. South Dakota. Florida.

Governors public statements standing with Texas and their razor wire. Is Biden going to start a war with the states?

Ukraine and immigration control should not be either/or.

Why is a secure border negotiable, at all. Glad Cruz called it out. Stinking pile of crap is just about right.

They have lots of tricks.

Like passing it, and saying this is the last time I’m going to vote for one these bloated Train Wrecks.

They know no one brings up what they said last year.

Asylum applicants should have to get and post a $20000 bond for their possible welfare costs and asylum claim or be deported on the spot.

Asylum applicants should be liable to repay the costs to the entity issuing their bond and their welfare costs.

If asylum applicant doesn’t show up for a hearing, the bondsman would have to fetch the applicant or pay the bond amount.

From the article: “Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), said the bill will likely fail in the House and faulted Senate leaders for not bringing Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) into the negotiations.”

For the sake of the American Taxpayer, I hope he’s right.

Sounds like Ted has fully dumped his advisers and is thinking for himself again.
This is good news!

Oh how I wish governors could recall spinators. Lankford needs to go to the woos shed and stay there. What a traitor. What a dope. He just looks dumb and gullible. Babble thumper and narrow minded as an earthworm.

It’s predicated on the notion that it’s ok to pump up to 1.8 million uneducated invetted leaches into our society. The nerve of these people to assert it’s a case of “not everyone gets everything they want” as the other senator from Kentucky had the gall to say on the floor every day. It is a blank check for the left wing

>We’re watching them.<

IMHO, most of them don’t give a “stinking pile of crap.”

They mock and laugh at us.

I pray God has mercy on this country.
