Thom Tillis (R-NC) slammed Trump&#8217;s attempts to kill the bipartisan border\u200b deal that Congress is currently debating. Trump told Republican lawmakers that they should not &#8220;do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These efforts have annoyed members of Congress on \u200dboth sides of the aisle since it appears to\u200d be Trump\u2064 trying to stop President Joe Biden from getting a legislative win, even if Republicans benefit from the deal too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t\u2064 come here to have the president as a boss or\u2063 a candidate as\u2062 a boss. I came here \u2063to pass\u2063 good,\u200c solid policy,&#8221; \u2064Tillis said, according to NBC News. &#8220;It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the \u2062linchpin for President Trump to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sen. \u2064Mitt Romney (R-UT) also expressed disgust at the idea of killing a bill in order to put Trump in a better position on \u200dthe\u2063 campaign trail. Romney called Trump&#8217;s \u200cattempt to kill the Ukraine-border deal &#8220;appalling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Utah senator argued there is an issue \u200cat the border and that anyone who cares about the border would be trying to solve it\u2063 now rather than delaying it for political reasons and \u200btaking credit \u2063for fixing it later.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate\u200d cut a deal \u200bon Friday that would grant the Biden administration a new expulsion authority if average migrant encounters exceed 4,000 a day across a one-week window.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/republican-lawmaker-slams-trump-border-deal-tactics\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM \u2063THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biden \u2064has spoken out \u200bin support of the legislation, stating that he would approve it if Congress passes it.<\/p>\n<p>The House appears more resistant, however. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a letter \u200con Friday that any border deal that is\u2063 not the one he passed last year would be &#8220;dead on\u2062 arrival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What were the aims of the\u200c bipartisan border \u200cdeal, \u2062and how did Trump&#8217;s political maneuvering affect its potential success?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Gration as a political maneuver was \u2062a mistake. Representative Adam Kinzinger \u2064of \u200dIllinois has boldly criticized Trump&#8217;s\u2062 tactics,\u200c calling them counterproductive\u2062 and damaging for the party.<\/p>\n<p>The issue surrounding Trump&#8217;s border deal tactics stems from his desire \u2063to exploit immigration as\u200c a wedge issue for political gain. Despite having left\u200c the White House, Trump continues to\u200c exert significant influence over the Republican Party, and his relentless focus\u2064 on immigration has been a cornerstone \u200cof his political rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>The bipartisan border deal, negotiated \u2062by a group of senators \u2062from both parties, aimed to address the ongoing challenges at the US-Mexico border. It proposed \u2063measures\u200c to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mexican-president-casts-doubt-on-biden-border-wall-change-pure-publicity\/\" title=\"Mexican president questions Biden's border wall change: 'Just for show'\">enhance border\u200c security<\/a>, modernize immigration processes, and provide\u200c a\u200c path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already residing in the United States. However, Trump urged Republicans to reject the deal, using it as \u200ba \u2063political maneuver to rally his \u200bbase and maintain\u2064 control over the \u2062party&#8217;s messaging.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Kinzinger believes that Trump&#8217;s decision to weaponize \u200bthe border deal for political gain is short-sighted and detrimental to the party&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-wont-block-texas-abortion-law\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Won\u2019t Block Texas Abortion Law\">long-term prospects<\/a>. \u200bIn a stark departure from the party line, \u200cKinzinger argues that \u200dthe deal \u2062had significant merits that should not have been\u200b overshadowed by political posturing.<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger\u200c emphasizes \u200bthat while immigration is \u2063undoubtedly\u200b an important issue, using it solely as \u2063a tool for political manipulation undermines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-debate-trumps-challengers-build-a-wall-of-sound-then-struggle-to-break-through\/\" title=\"Republican debate: Trump's rivals create a wall of noise, but struggle to make an impact.\">substantive policy discussions<\/a>. By rejecting a sensible and bipartisan solution,\u200b the\u200d former\u200c President sent a clear message that political gamesmanship takes precedence over addressing critical issues\u200d facing the\u200c nation.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, \u200dKinzinger warns that Trump&#8217;s approach only serves to further polarize the country, deepening the divide among Republicans themselves and isolating the\u2063 party \u2064from\u200b potential supporters. Instead of bringing people together around \u200bsolutions, Trump&#8217;s tactics breed\u200b discord and hinder progress.<\/p>\n<p>The Representative suggests that the Republican Party\u200c needs to pivot away from\u200b these divisive \u2064tactics and focus on \u200ccomprehensive immigration reform that addresses border security,\u2064 economic concerns, and the\u2062 humanitarian aspect of the immigration system. He argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-un-pick-urges-continued-u-s-presence-in-chinese-led-panels\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s UN pick urges continued U.S. presence in Chinese-led panels\">finding common ground<\/a> and working collaboratively across party lines is \u200dcrucial to addressing the complex challenges posed by immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger&#8217;s bold stance against Trump&#8217;s border deal tactics has drawn both\u200b support and criticism within the Republican Party. While some commend his willingness to speak out against the former President, others \u2064accuse him\u200b of betraying party loyalty.\u200c Nevertheless, Kinzinger remains steadfast\u2063 in his belief that the party needs to move beyond the divisive politics\u200b of the past and pivot towards \u2063a more inclusive and substantive agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Representative Adam Kinzinger&#8217;s criticism of former President \u200dDonald Trump&#8217;s border deal tactics sheds light on the divisive and counterproductive nature of\u2063 using immigration as\u2062 a \u200bpolitical weapon. Kinzinger&#8217;s argument emphasizes the need for the Republican Party to prioritize collaboration, substantive policy discussions,\u2064 and comprehensive immigration reform over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pandemic-water-assistance-program-not-expected-to-be-renewed-in-congressional-budget-negotiations\/\" title=\"Pandemic Water Aid Program Unlikely to Be Extended in Budget Talks\">short-term political\u2064 gains<\/a>.\u2064 As the party navigates its \u2062future,\u2063 it must decide \u2064whether\u200c to continue down the path of \u2064polarization or embrace a\u2063 more unified and constructive \u200capproach \u200cto address the nation&#8217;s challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
