Donald Trump Jr. criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a “mentally declining pro-amnesty turtle” in response to the border security bill, which has faced opposition from Republicans.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed strong opposition to the bill, citing concerns about its impact on illegal immigration and border security.
The bill, while containing some concessions on border security, has raised red flags for Republicans due to its potential implications.
“Why do Senate Republicans continue to allow themselves to be led by a mentally declining pro-amnesty turtle?” Donald Trump Jr. said.
“Let me be clear: The Senate Border Bill will NOT receive a vote in the House. Here’s what the people pushing this ‘deal’ aren’t telling you: It accepts 5,000 illegal immigrants a day and gives automatic work permits to asylum recipients—a magnet for more illegal immigration,” Scalise said.
“I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, ‘the border never closes.’ If this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival,” Johnson said.
Democrats are promoting the bill as a solution to President Joe Biden’s declining poll numbers, but it has been met with significant resistance from Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, who labeled it as an “absolute non-starter” and advocated for the passage of the Secure Our Border Act instead.
“This Joe Biden/Chuck Schumer Open Border Bill is an absolute non-starter and will further incentivize thousands of illegals to pour in across our borders daily. House Republicans have already passed HR2 – the Secure Our Border Act, which would actually secure the border and return to the effective Trump policies with the most secure border in our nation’s history,” Stefanik said.
