On Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the problems on the border are not due to President Joe Biden reversing several Trump-era policies, cited Republicans who saw the Senate border bill as Democrats “moving in a tough, strong direction” on the issue, and stated that by opposing the Senate bill, Trump said, “hold it out for political advantage and let this so-called crisis fester for another year.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, “Well, Senator, Biden was right last night to bring up the strong bipartisan border bill that Trump essentially killed that Sen. Lankford (R-OK) had worked on. But do you think that Democrats need to acknowledge that the immigration crisis we’re now in, which is a top issue for voters, is a result of a number of Trump-era policies that President Biden decided to reverse?”
Schumer responded, “No, I don’t think so. I think the contrast was amazing. President Biden has a real plan on immigration. I know, because we worked on it with the Senate. We put a bipartisan group, Sen. Lankford, Sen. Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Sinema (I-AZ), and they put together a really tough immigration proposal that could pass in a bipartisan way. The plan was so tough that it was supported by The Wall Street Journal editorial page, the fount of hard-right conservatism in America. It was supported by the Border Patrol union. They’ve been right-wing and pro-Trump. It was supported by the Chambers of Commerce because it was tough and strong. It stopped fentanyl — if we enacted it — from coming over our borders by using these fentanyl detection machines, it increased the number of people who would apprehend people crossing the border, and it even had a cap on any immigration if too many people...”

Chuck you.
He thinks we are stupid.
Half of Americans are.
Pretty much explains everything.
Scheckie Choomer is one of the greasiest liars in The Swamp.
What a shameless hypocrite this creature is. But then 97.5% of democrats are, so no surprise.
Ugh such a despicable scumbag.
The Democrats have been in lock step denying there were problems at the border. Now they want to do a 180 degree reversal and blame Trump. Are they that stupid or just think that we are?
A talking point with no teeth and no bite.
You only hear this drivel from the exceptionally arrogant. Even their own voters don’t buy into this BS.
Pure BSchumer.
He’s gaslighting.
It was another promises, promises like they did to Reagan.
Chuck Schumer is just another example of why we need term limits.
Hey Chucky, what about the invasion the last three years? Did Trump threaten Joe to keep the borders open, too?
Chuck Schumer is just another example of why we need term limits firing squads.
Fixed it. 🤡
Does this blaming of the GOP explain why the problems at the borders started shortly after Biden gained power? This bill Chuck talks about is very recent, I assume?
OK, here is a reality check:
All of us who pay attention know what’s going on. Whose (Biden’s) fault it is. The Demscum are of course trying to spin.
We are the exceptions. Most people are too busy with trying to get by to pay our level of attention.
Here is what the average Jane/Joe knows:
(1) Basics cost more. They feel it when they buy gas and groceries.
(2) Crime is up (despite the lying stats). Many if not most of them know someone who has been a victim of crime.
(3) Illegal immigration is at an insane level.
(4) Biden was President during all this.
That’s it. All the spin does not mean beans.
Trump said it was a bad bill, so they’re blaming him for killing it.
