There is An Migrant Onslaught at The US Southern Border, And Its' TRUMPs' Fault NOT Bidens

Why Did TRUMP Urge Republicans to Turn Against Border Security in The Bipartisan Senate Border Security Bill?


AP 22 MAR 2024






TRUMP made $$ millions in donations to 'build the wall' BUT he and Roger Stone kept the money and never paid the contractors and some went BUST













The wall was never finished and Mexican smugglers found it easy to cut through sections of US southern border wall




A scarred mountainside and a half-built wall






TRUMP tried to single-handedly suspend asylum in between ports of entry along the southern border through a proclamation in 2018, using a law House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans have urged Mr. Biden to invoke.

TRUMP made this clear when he urged Republicans in Congress to turn against the bipartisan Senate Border Security Bill so that he could keep the issue alive through the presidential election, and claim credit for it when he became president again. Some of his supporters fell in line.



The Bill, in Brief

The $118 billion bill, called the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, sought significant changes in border policy. It included money to build more border barriers, to greatly expand detention facilities, and to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges to reduce the years-long backlog in cases to determine asylum eligibility.

It sought to expedite the asylum process, essentially ending — in most cases — the so-called “catch and release” policy whereby migrants are released into the U.S. pending asylum hearings. And it would have increased the standard of evidence needed to win asylum status.

The bill also would have supplied more funding to interdict fentanyl and human trafficking

“It doesn’t have everything in it I wanted, it doesn’t have everything it it my Democratic colleagues wanted,” one of the architects of the bill, Republican Sen. James Lankford, said from the Senate floor before the vote was taken. “But it definitely makes a difference.”

In the lead-up to the vote, Lankford accused his Republican colleagues of opposing the bill on political, rather than policy, grounds.
