Senators J.D. Vance and Marsha Blackburn strongly oppose the Senate’s immigration bill, with Vance summarizing it as “the border never closes.”
Vance criticized the bill and questioned why any Republican would support it, while Blackburn emphasized the importance of law and order, expressing her refusal to make illegal immigration legal.
She called for a vote on the Secure the Border Act as an alternative.
"The border never closes" is a good summary of this bill, and of Joe Biden's policy.
I can understand why Chris Murphy supports it. I cannot imagine why any Republican supports this atrocious proposal. https://t.co/ekv7LJ8qbO

“’The border never closes’ is a good summary of this bill, and of Joe Biden’s policy. I can understand why Chris Murphy supports it. I cannot imagine why any Republican supports this atrocious proposal,” Vance said.
“The House is impeaching Mayorkas next week while the Senate will be voting to give him massive discretion to … not enforce the border. Why would any Republican vote for this?”
The bill has faced significant opposition from Republican senators due to concerns about its impact on border security and illegal immigration.
“It is against the law for an individual to illegally cross into our country — it’s incredible that still needs to be said. We are a nation of law and order, yet the Biden administration has allowed over 8.8 million illegal immigrants to flood our border,” Blackburn said.
“Meanwhile, at least 85,000 migrant children have gone missing under the watch of Biden’s HHS as cartels and unvetted sponsors take advantage of them. That is unacceptable, and allowing even one immigrant to enter our country illegally is unacceptable. I will never vote to make illegal immigration legal, and I will not support this deal.”
“If my Democratic colleagues are serious about working with us to secure the border, they should call for a vote on the Secure the Border Act (H.R.2), which arrived in the Senate on May 15 and has languished without even a hearing,” Blackburn added.
