On Thursday’s “CNN News Central,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) acknowledged that “the entire reason” that there was a negotiation for a border bill in the Senate to begin with was because of “the request of Republicans. Republicans said, we want to pass bipartisan border security legislation.” He also argued that Democrats “think border security’s important.”
Murphy said, “Remember, the entire reason that we entered into this bipartisan negotiation was at the request of Republicans. Republicans said, we want to pass bipartisan border security legislation. They appointed a negotiator, Sen. McConnell (R-KY), the leader of the Republicans, was in the room, and we negotiated for four months. We delivered on every single priority that Republicans asked for, the leadership of the Republican Senate Caucus signed off on the final product, and then Donald Trump said, stop, don’t pass any border security legislation, because I want the border to be a mess for this election, and Republicans turned on a dime. Now, we think border security’s important. The people we represent think border security’s important. And so, we don’t want to just abandon this bipartisan bill that we worked so hard on after one failed attempt.”

I’m not aware that any of the had discussions about HR2.
Well, Cornyn did say amnesty was next after giving the Dems their gun legation, that he is now trying to run away from.
The ‘border bill’ did nothing except make all the current illegal activity legal.
We don’t need a new ‘border bill’, especially one this bad.
We just need to follow EXISTING laws
So, he freely admits, were it not for those “pesky Karen” Republicans, he would continue to ignore that caravan of dumpster fires we used to call secured borders.
they say this BS while ignoring the bill the house passed and is sitting in the Senate DOA.
Exactly! And I'd bet the only real change in the Democrat's bill would be to give amnesty to millions of people who are here illegally.
If Chris Murphy is talking, he is lying
