We all knew there had to be a catch if the Democrats were in on the bipartisan "emergency authority" border bill. After all, it was part of the Biden administration's national security request, and it grants President Biden's handler[s] to effectively nullify the law whenever they want. How many times is the GOP going to fall for this crap?
According to words in the bill, it gives Biden's handler[s] the power to direct the secretary of Homeland Security to "temporarily suspend" the border emergency authority on an emergency basis. So if Biden wants to keep the border open to allow future Democrats in, but incompetent Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas does, whoever has their hand up Biden to pull his strings can suspend the border for 45 days at a time.
And you freaking know they will!
"Senate GOP leadership screwed this up—and screwed us. Even while refusing to let us see the bill they claimed to be negotiating on our behalf—for MONTHS—they were never in doubt, insisting we’d be dumb and even unpatriotic NOT to support it. This is a disqualifying betrayal," Sen. Mike Lee, (R-UT) posted to X.
The legislation will need a 60-vote threshold to pass, and Republican lawmakers asked leaders to give them more time to offer amendments. Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer, (D-NY) said last week the Senate could begin voting on it as soon as Wednesday.
According to the bill, the secretary of Homeland Security is involved in the identity verification process of migrants crossing the border and must ensure the migrant's identity is checked against all appropriate records and databases. If a migrant attains asylum, they'll immediately be given a work visa.
"I’ve reviewed the bill, I don’t think it will solve our border crisis, and might make it worse. I will oppose it," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), posted to X on Monday. "The bill gives Secretary Mayorkas the right—for the first time—to grant asylum claims (and thus American citizenship) to illegal aliens at the border without review by the immigration courts, which will be a massive pathway to rubber-stamping amnesty."
More Democrats; more power, forever and ever,
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), labeled the bill "another Ukraine aid package that weakly addresses Biden's border crisis."
"I will be a 'No' vote," he wrote on X.

Another lawmaker who oppose this nonsense bill is Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who called it more like an "immigration bill, not a border security bill."
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), criticized another portion of the bill that "includes an eye-popping $1.4B for NGOs to resettle illegal aliens in your communities via airplane tickets and hotel rooms (nearly double the record amount from FY23), including $933M available immediately without conditions."
"This is more of our tax dollars being used to buy off Democrat sanctuary city mayors. This is the 'border security' Democrats really want," Hagerty said.
Other GOPers who oppose the bill so far include Sens. Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Marsha Blackburn, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and JD Vance.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, (R-KY), Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer, and lead negotiator Sen. James Lankford, (RINO-OK), hope to get the bill across the finish line.
The bill is bull.
