Law Mitt Romney: Trump killed border bill so he can ‘blame Biden’

[Islam Imamate]

Yeah, AFTER 28,000 illegals have already crossed. Thats an open border.

No, after 28,000 have attempted to cross. That number refers to border encounters which includes those who are turned away or stopped before they enter the country. Again this what I mean when I say you're clueless.

Whats in the bill to stop them from coming? Whats in the bill that empowers border patrol? Whats in the bill that counters people who sneak in illegally?
Its horse shit and you know it.

Its not horseshit but you wouldn't know either way because you're completely clueless.

The bill streamlined the asylum process which is one of the core issues at the border

Next, the bill establishes an expedited process that authorizes asylum officers to adjudicate certain asylum claims. Among other provisions, these provisional noncustodial removal proceedings impose certain target timelines for determining asylum claims and limit review of denied claims. The bill also establishes a stricter threshold for individuals to remain in the United States pending adjudication of an asylum petition.

“I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump,” Romney said. “And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is really appalling.”

“But the reality is that we have a crisis at the border, the American people are suffering as a result of what’s happening at the border, and someone running for president ought to try to get the problem solved as opposed to saying, ‘Hey, save that problem. Don’t solve it. Let me take credit for solving it later,’” Romney continued.

Did you know that Bernie Sandals and immigrant rights groups opposed the “Bipartisan Border Bill” as well?

Because it didn't include amnesty, do you think that is why Trump was against the bill?

 

[Rational Poster]

Pretty shit of Biden to deport the people he invited.

Interesting fan fiction

 

[koquerelle]

Liberal tears flooding this thread.

Not really. Nobody needed Romney to know Trump killed the bill.

 

[Rational Poster]

The last thing Trump voters want to see is good policy that does a thing they want because then they may have to admit that the government is not all that bad which runs contrary to their narrative and even their personas they've cultivated surrounding that narrative.

They can't handle that level of introspection.

There were obviously MANY reasons to object to the bill… so many, in fact, that conservatives, democrats, and immigration advocates alike were aligned in their opposition to it.

But let's be honest here, Republicans and Democrats weren't against the bill for the same reason. Democrats like Sanders didn't like that it compromised too much with Republicans like the fact that it didn't include amnesty while Republicans voted against it because Trump told them to. Very different reasons.

Sounds like it was a bill designed to fail then

It's called compromise. You don't get everything you want.

Quite the opposite, it was written in part by Republican Senator Langford so that it would be more likely to pass as a bipartisan bill.

If people on both sides oppose it, it's probably a bad bill.

The bill also included additional funding for ICE

Why add money, ICE Cannot function in Every Harris/Biden Sanctuary city.
