Unfortunately for them, the legislation failed to pass a procedural hurdle \u200cfor a vote on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>The $118 billion package \u200cincluded\u2064 funding for the border, as well as wartime aid to\u2062 Israel\u2063 and Ukraine. The bill even \u200dlegalized 5,000 \u200dcrossings \u2063per day and expanded asylum for\u200c all. Democrats who wrote the bill admitted that under its provisions, &#8220;the border\u2064 never closes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>An utter disaster. Here&#8217;s a thread of the Dems bragging about what\u200d an open-borders victory this \u2062bill would be.

However, if Democrats\u2062 had shown even a hint of\u200d desire for a \u200dsecure border, the White House \u200bmight have taken a different approach instead of aggressively\u200c reversing every effective program implemented under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, House \u2063Republicans impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro \u200dMayorkas for neglecting the administration&#8217;s constitutional obligation\u2062 to enforce U.S. border laws.

This bill would\u200b allocate\u2062 $14 billion to Israel, $10 billion to &#8220;humanitarian&#8221; efforts abroad, and a staggering $60 billion to Ukraine. If passed,\u2062 the \u200ctotal U.S.\u200c taxpayer payout for the proxy \u200cwar\u2064 in Ukraine would exceed $170\u200b billion, \u200caccording to The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[RELATED:[RELATED:<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/13\/speaker-mike-johnson-will-be-firing-himself-if-he-caves-on-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Speaker \u200dMike Johnson Will \u200cBe Firing Himself If He Caves On Ukraine<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Tristan Justice is the western \u200bcorrespondent for The Federalist and the author of Social Justice Redux, \u2063a conservative newsletter on culture, health, and wellness.

However, their efforts were unsuccessful, further highlighting the\u200c rift within the Republican party on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The failure to legalize amnesty \u200cin the border\u2064 deal has significant implications for Republican candidates in tight races. \u200bAs the\u2062 DSCC ad points out, this failure can be seen as\u2062 a reflection of Republican candidates&#8217; apathy towards addressing the crisis at \u2064the border, \u2063which is a top concern for voters. With the upcoming fall elections, this is ammunition that Democrats can use to criticize their Republican opponents and gain the\u200b support of voters who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-prioritize-border-security-amid-dem-amnesty-push\/\" title=\"GOP prioritize border security amid Dem amnesty push\">prioritize border security<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is important\u200b to note that the border deal that Republicans opposed had provisions that would have had \u2063far-reaching\u200b consequences. Not only\u200c did it include funding for border security, but it also legalized an unprecedented number of daily crossings and\u200b expanded asylum for \u2063all. As Sen. Ted Cruz\u2063 highlighted in \u2062his tweet,\u2063 Democrats were proclaiming\u200c this as an open borders victory. The\u2063 Republican rejection of the bill can be\u2064 seen as an attempt to prevent the\u2064 implementation of \u2064such policies that they believe would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-nominee-saule-omarova-worries-bitcoin-might-undermine-national-security\/\" title=\"Biden Nominee Saule Omarova Worries Bitcoin Might Undermine National Security\">undermine national security<\/a> and sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>The ad released by the \u2062DSCC features Democratic strategist Symone \u200bSanders, who criticizes Republicans for missing the opportunity to pass a bipartisan bill that would address the crisis at the border. This highlights the Democratic narrative that portrays Republicans as more interested in politics\u200b than in finding a\u200b solution to the problem. The ad\u200c specifically targets GOP Senate candidates, including Ted Cruz and\u200c Rick Scott, accusing them of opposing the bipartisan bill for their own self-serving political motives.<\/p>\n<p>If Republican leadership, led by Mitch McConnell, had negotiated a\u2062 border bill that included substantive \u200bsecurity\u2064 measures, this ad would not exist. The failure to do so has given Democrats the upper hand in framing the issue\u2062 and\u200d criticizing \u200bRepublicans for their lack of \u2063action.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u2064 worth noting that \u200cDemocrats themselves have \u2063not shown a strong desire for a secure border. In fact, the\u2063 White House, under Democratic leadership, has been aggressively reversing many of the effective programs\u200b implemented under President Donald\u2062 Trump. \u2062This \u200braises questions about the sincerity of their commitment to border security and whether their proposed solutions would truly address the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u200cthe failure to legalize\u200d amnesty in the border deal has become a point of criticism for Republicans, particularly those\u2064 in tight races. Democrats, seizing the opportunity, have released an\u2062 ad highlighting this failure and accusing Republicans of being apathetic towards the border crisis. The rift within the Republican party on this issue further complicates matters. As the fall elections approach, the debate over border security will continue \u200bto be a central\u2064 point of contention between the two parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DSCC released a new ad criticizing Republicans for not legalizing amnesty in the recent &#8220;border deal.&#8221; GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell will be blamed by Republican candidates in close races.
