Senators Mike Braun, Marsha Blackburn, and Tim Scott expressed concerns about a bipartisan immigration deal, arguing that it would not address the migrant crisis at the southern border.
They highlighted specific issues with the proposed deal, such as increasing green cards and work permits, which they believe would not effectively address the border crisis.
The senators emphasized the need for strong border security and expressed a lack of confidence in the proposed immigration framework, calling for a focus on President Trump’s approach to border security.
The deal “does nothing to fix” the crisis at the border, Braun said.
“If it were H.R. 2, I think that would be something that would probably make sense. If it’s something else, you’re just baselining it at a level that Democrats would probably be happy with in terms of number of crossings,” he said.
“Those are the ruses, the tricks that have been used by the establishment politicians for decades. We can’t fall for it.”
“I have said all along I cannot support anything that would make illegal entry legal. And that is what we see some of the Democrats really pushing for — they’re trying to find ways to make illegal immigration legal,” Blackburn said.
“Matt, you cannot talk about border security without talking about fixing asylum, fixing the parole issue, not with the president waiving hundreds of thousands of people into the country every year,” she said.
The crisis is “the greatest invasion across our southern border in American history,” Scott said.
“Don’t negotiate around the edges, the thing that’s missing is confidence and what President Trump brings to the table in negotiating about border security.”
“We want someone at the helm that the American people say, I trust what he says about the border. That brings confidence and that’s what we need in Washington,” Scott added.
