Senate Border Bill: Democrat Propaganda Operation
Democrats’ Border Bill: A Political Game at the Expense of American Security
After the much-anticipated “bipartisan” Ukraine and border bill finally dropped on Sunday, it took little time to confirm that all 370 pages are worse than intelligent observers predicted. The $118 billion boondoggle is dead on arrival in the House. For Democrats and their accomplice media, however, the legislation and House Republicans’ response to it are going exactly as planned.
Not only did national disgrace Sen. Mitch McConnell (feat. useful idiot James Lankford) work tirelessly with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on this bill to keep America’s borders open, give out amnesty Oprah-style, and write more blank checks to Ukraine and Hamas sympathizers in the Middle East, they also helped the corrupt corporate media run a propaganda operation against House Republicans and the rest of the GOP. Worse, they’re deliberately running it during an election year to boost Joe Biden on the border issue — which the near-dead incumbent has aided and abetted, and voters say is top of mind next to Bidenomics.
The Republican-majority House predictably isn’t going for the bill. Why would they? It would allow nearly 2 million illegal aliens into the country in one year — as long as the numbers stay below 5,000 entries per day for seven consecutive days, or below 8,500 border encounters in a single day — before triggering “emergency authority” for the Department of Homeland Security and closing the border. Even then there are exceptions.
Worse, if Biden decides it’s in the “national interest” to beckon some more Democrat representation padding and likely future voters across the Rio Grande, he can unilaterally suspend the border closure for 45 days per year. There’s more where that came from.
If GOP members of Congress had taken the bait, Democrats would have come out on top, having convinced their political foes not only to continue funding a no-win forever war in Eastern Europe but also to keep letting illegal aliens into the country virtually unrestricted. Bonus: A codified open border could hamstring “the fixer” Donald Trump if he wins the general election later this year, zapping his political power to rehabilitate U.S. security and sovereignty.
Yet even without the House conceding to the bill, Democrats win anyway. Now Biden and his accomplice media can simply blame Republicans for not solving the crisis this administration caused. That’s exactly what’s happening, starting with Biden pointing fingers at Republicans:
“Working with my administration, the United States Senate has done the hard work it takes to reach a bipartisan agreement. Now, House Republicans have to decide. Do they want to solve the problem? Or do they want to keep playing politics with the border?”
Biden’s media lapdogs dutifully advanced the narrative, which they’d already been spinning before the text of the bill was even released.
“GOP Blames Biden for Border Crisis That GOP Refuses to Solve,” blared one Daily Beast headline. “Republicans are yelling about a crisis at the border. But they’re also unwilling to do anything to address it for fear that it’d give Joe Biden a political win,” the subheading continued, taking its talking points straight from the president and Senate Democrats like Chris Murphy.
“Why Republicans Don’t Want To Solve the Border Problem — But do want to make deals to cut taxes,” read another headline in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer by Jonathan Chait.
“Republicans Who Screamed About A Crisis On The Border Now Oppose A Plan To Fix It,” said HuffPost, claiming Republicans oppose the border bill not because it’s nightmarish but because they want to hurt Biden. “Border Patrol Supports ‘Strong’ Immigration Deal. Republicans Don’t Care,” wrote Rolling Stone.
Vanity Fair claimed, ”Republicans Don’t Want to Lose Their Favorite 2024 Talking Point,” with Bloomberg opting for a simple, “House Republicans Don’t Want to Fix the Border.”
Cable television has been as bad. A host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” said the “bipartisan border deal is doomed to fail … because Republicans have turned on it.” The “Today” show framed the gridlock as Republicans “threaten[ing] to block the border bill they negotiated,” as if McConnell and his sidekick colluding with Democrats behind closed doors amounts to a good-faith bipartisan negotiation.
This run-of-the-mill propaganda is to be expected from the corporate media, but it’s just so brazen considering Republicans’ efforts to secure the border earlier in Biden’s term and Democrats’ subsequent refusal to cooperate.
We’re all old enough to remember less than a year ago when the House passed a stronger border bill that would have restarted Trump-era border wall construction, required aliens to remain in Mexico while waiting out their usually fraudulent asylum claims, restricted asylum eligibility to legal ports of entry, enacted harsher punishments for overstaying expired visas, kept Title 42-esque “expulsion authority” in place, and supplied border authorities with additional grant funding. Senate Democrats wouldn’t lift a finger.
But sure. It’s Republicans “playing politics.”
How are the Democrats and their media allies using the border bill as a political tool?
Pinion/articles/2022-02-15/republicans-must-resist-the-temptation-to-play-politics-and-support-the-border-bill-against-american-security”>Bloomberg stating, “Republicans Must Resist the Temptation to Play Politics and Support the Border Bill Against American Security.”
These headlines and articles are a clear illustration of how the Democrats and their accomplice media are using the border bill as a political tool to attack Republicans and promote their own agenda. By framing Republicans as the ones responsible for the border crisis, they are deflecting blame from the Biden administration, which has all but abandoned border security. It is a classic example of gaslighting, trying to convince the public that up is down and left is right.
The truth is that the border bill is a disaster waiting to happen. It will not only allow nearly 2 million illegal aliens into the country but also undermine national security by giving the Department of Homeland Security limited authority to close the border. This is a clear violation of our sovereignty and a threat to American citizens. It is astonishing that any politician would support such a bill, let alone try to pressure Republicans into doing so.
But the Democrats and their media allies are not concerned with the well-being of the American people or the security of our nation. They are only interested in promoting their own political interests and pushing their radical agenda. They see the border bill as an opportunity to score political points and give Joe Biden a win on the border issue, which is a top concern for many Americans.
It is important for Republicans and any politician who truly cares about American security to resist the temptation to play politics and support the border bill. The consequences of such a decision would be catastrophic for our country. We cannot afford to compromise our national security and allow illegal aliens to flood into our country unchecked.
The Republicans must stand firm and reject this dangerous bill. They must expose the Democrats’ political game and hold them accountable for their failures on border security. The American people deserve leaders who prioritize their safety and well-being, not politicians who are more interested in scoring political points.
We must demand better from our elected officials. We must demand a secure border and an immigration system that puts the interests of Americans first. It is time for Republicans and all Americans who care about our nation’s security to come together and fight against the Democrats’ border bill.
Our security and sovereignty are at stake. We cannot afford to let politics dictate our immigration policies. It is time for strong leadership and a commitment to the safety and well-being of the American people. It is time to put an end to the Democrats’ political game at the expense of American security.
