In\u2064 a perfect world,\u200c an overwhelming majority of \u200dAmerican voters would scoff at the absurd border bill proposed by Senate Democrats (along with a few spineless Republicans) and demand justice. Unfortunately, we don’t\u2063 live in a perfect world.<\/p>\n

The more\u2063 you delve \u200dinto the details of the bill, \u200bwhich was recently made public<\/a>, the more outrageously offensive\u200b it becomes. I’m not just referring to the \u200ccriticisms from \u200dRepublicans who oppose it.\u2064 I’m talking about the glowing endorsements from the national media, who \u2062are fervently\u2062 pushing for its passage.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this excerpt from Axios on Monday<\/a>: “The $118 billion package includes $60 billion for Ukraine \u200band $14 billion for Israel. \u200cAn \u2062additional $10 \u200dbillion is\u2064 earmarked for humanitarian assistance in Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine. \u200cThe \u200bborder\u2062 changes include $20 billion for transportation\u2062 for deportation, shelters, 4,000+ \u2064new asylum officers, more \u2063border agents, and anti-fentanyl trafficking efforts.”<\/p>\n

In other\u200d words, $84 billion would be sent overseas,\u200c with the majority going to Joe Biden’s beloved Ukraine, while a portion of that amount would \u200cbe used\u2064 to hire more government workers in the \u2064United\u200b States to process illegal immigrants<\/a> who\u200c will burden American\u200b taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Where \u2063do we sign?!<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Politico praised\u2064 the\u2063 bill<\/a> as a major victory \u200cfor Republicans, conveniently ignoring the fact that a secure U.S. territory benefits the \u200bentire country. However, they did acknowledge\u2064 a few\u200d minor drawbacks. “The\u2062 border emergency authority\u2063 that is a\u200c centerpiece of the\u2064 bill,\u2064 for instance, is not absolute,” \u2064they admitted.\u2062 “Unaccompanied\u2064 minors \u2063and trafficking \u2064victims are not \u200cincluded, and immigration officers are empowered to make other exceptions.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Politico also highlighted the president’s authority to limit border crossings, stating that Biden can suspend it for up\u2064 to 45 days if it is deemed “in the national interest.” These\u200b powers can only be \u2062exercised\u200d for a\u200b limited time, with the entire bill becoming null and void after three years.<\/p>\n
In \u2064essence, all the new “restrictions” \u2064on who can \u2062enter the United States are \u2064ultimately\u2063 at the discretion of\u2063 Joe Biden. This is no different from the current situation. Since taking office, nearly half a \u2064million unaccompanied minors\u200b have been encountered by border agents. \u2064When you\u200b factor in\u200c “trafficking victims”\u2064 (i.e., anyone who paid a smuggler to bring them here), we’re right back where we started.<\/p>\n
Again, I’m not quoting Republican officials who oppose the bill. These are the \u2063words\u200d of Axios (which\u200b describes\u200c this\u200d as\u2064 a “remarkably strict” proposal) and \u2062Politico (“Senate Republicans will find \u200cit \u200cdifficult to \u200breject the policy advances in the bill”).<\/p>\n
It’s clear that\u200b Washington is fixated on sending more money to\u2063 Ukraine. House Republicans have a simple condition: if we must\u2063 do that, \u200dlet’s also address the influx of \u2062foreign terrorists and impoverished individuals from Latin \u2062America crossing the Rio Grande.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
This shouldn’t even be up for negotiation, \u2064but the Biden administration\u200c and congressional\u2063 Democrats have chosen to play this hand. However, if the offer is to \u200bgive Ukraine another $100 billion without ensuring the security of our\u2062 own\u2062 Southern border, then why bother sending money\u200d at all?<\/p>\n
Let’s not.<\/p>\n

What are some\u200b of the \u200bcriticisms of the border bill proposed by Senate Democrats?<\/h2>\n
\u2064 The \u2063Absurd \u200dBorder Bill: \u2064A Closer Look at \u200cthe Senate \u2064Democrats’ \u2063Proposal<\/p>\n
In a perfect world,\u200c an \u2064overwhelming majority of American voters would scoff at\u2064 the absurd border bill proposed \u200dby Senate \u2063Democrats \u200d(along with \u200da\u200c few spineless Republicans) and demand justice. Unfortunately,\u2063 we don’t live\u200b in\u2064 a perfect world.<\/p>\n
The more\u200b you delve into the \u200bdetails of \u200dthe bill, which \u2063was recently made \u2062public, the more outrageously offensive it becomes. I’m not \u200bjust referring\u200b to \u2062the criticisms \u2062from Republicans who \u2063oppose it. I’m\u2064 talking about the glowing endorsements \u2062from the national media, who are \u2062fervently \u200cpushing\u200d for its passage.<\/p>\n
Take\u200d a look at this\u200d excerpt from Axios on Monday: “The $118 billion package includes \u2063$60 billion for Ukraine\u2064 and $14 billion for Israel.\u200d An additional\u200b $10 billion is earmarked for humanitarian assistance\u200d in Gaza, the West Bank, \u200cand Ukraine. The border changes include $20 billion for transportation for deportation, shelters, 4,000+ new asylum officers, more border \u200bagents, and anti-fentanyl trafficking efforts.”<\/p>\n
In other words, $84 billion would \u2063be sent overseas, with the majority going to Joe Biden’s beloved Ukraine, \u2064while \u2062a portion of that amount would be used \u200dto hire more government workers in the United States to process illegal immigrants\u2063 who will burden American taxpayers.<\/p>\n
Where do we sign?!<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Politico praised the\u2064 bill as \u200da major victory for Republicans, conveniently ignoring the fact that\u2062 a secure U.S. territory\u200d benefits \u200bthe entire country. However, they did acknowledge\u200b a few minor drawbacks. “The border emergency authority that is a centerpiece \u200dof \u200dthe bill,\u2063 for instance, is not \u2064absolute,” they admitted. \u200d”Unaccompanied minors and \u200btrafficking victims are\u200b not included, and \u200dimmigration officers are \u2064empowered to make other exceptions.”<\/p>\n
It is \u2062deeply concerning that such a bill \u2064is \u200ceven being considered, let alone receiving support from influential media \u200coutlets. It is\u200c a\u2063 clear indication of the \u2062state of our\u2062 country’s immigration \u200cpolicies and\u2064 the priorities of our lawmakers. The American people deserve \u200bbetter.<\/p>\n
We must demand that our elected officials prioritize<\/a>\u200d the interests and safety of American citizens over external\u2063 affairs. It is time for our government \u2063to focus on securing\u200c our borders and implementing sensible immigration\u2064 policies that\u200d protect American\u200d jobs, national security, and the\u200c economic well-being of the\u200d American people.<\/p>\n
The proposed border bill is a\u200d disgrace and a betrayal of the American people. \u2062It is \u200dimperative\u2064 that\u200c we hold our elected officials accountable and \u2064demand\u2063 better. Our country deserves \u2062a \u200bcomprehensive \u2062immigration policy that reflects the \u200cvalues and interests of the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
