The vote was procedural to allow the bill to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Republicans opposing the motion were Democratic Sens. Corey Booker (NJ); Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler (Calif.); Ed Markey (Mass.); and independent Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), and Bernie Sanders (Vermont). Three Democrats also didn\u2019t vote: Sens. Joe Manchin (W.V.); Bob Menendez (NJ); and Elizabeth Warren (MA).<\/p>\n<p>Two of the bill\u2019s sponsors who previously championed it, Sens. James Lankford (Okla.), and Sinema, voted against the motion.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema said both sides were blaming each other and playing \u201cpolitical theater.\u201d When they first tried to bring the bill up for consideration and her Republican colleagues opposed it, Sinema said they were \u201call talk and no action.\u201d After Schumer tried to get the measure through, she said her Democratic colleagues chose \u201cmore political theater instead of real efforts to solve this crisis. All talk and no action goes both ways.\u201d The failed vote was a \u201cshow vote,\u201d she said, \u201cto point the finger back at the other party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer also blamed Republicans for the border crisis, saying on X, \u201cIt\u2019s been 106 days since Donald Trump and the Republicans blocked the strongest, most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-blasted-over-report-of-suspected-cartel-gunmen-crossing-border-eluding-capture\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Criticized for Cartel Gunmen Crossing Border, Escaping Capture.\">comprehensive border security bill<\/a> in a generation. And they still don\u2019t have any plan except exploiting the border for Trump\u2019s political gain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden said, \u201cCongressional Republicans do not care about securing the border or fixing America\u2019s broken immigration system. If they did, they would have voted for the toughest border enforcement in history,\u201d referring to the Senate bill.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the claims made by the president, Lankford, Sinema, and many others, the Senate bill largely does the opposite of what they claim, The Center Square reported. The bill wouldn\u2019t cap illegal border entries to 5,000 a day; would codify and expand the Biden administration policies over which at least 25 state attorneys general have sued; amend federal law to expand illegal entry, which incentivizes \u201cfraud families,\u201d human smuggling and other crimes, officials have explained. Texas officials have also pointed to how it would codify mass migration and nullify state sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 11 million border crossers and escalating crime associated with them rising since January 2021, the border crisis remains one of the top issues for voters ahead of the November election.<\/p>\n<p>Poll after poll shows it\u2019s a top concern among voters, \u201con which the Democrats try hardest to distance themselves from their own party,\u201d and \u201ca major Biden weakness,\u201d The New York Times reports. Still, the president is preparing to issue executive action on the border, which he could sign as early as next month, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>Several reports also have pointed to some Senate Democrats running for reelection who are distancing themselves from Biden\u2019s border policies.<\/p>\n<p>In one race, U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nevada, says in a political ad that she promised \u201cto do what is right for Nevada, not my party leaders. I won\u2019t walk the party line and I never have.\u201d She cites examples of standing up to the Democratic Party \u201cto support police officers and get more funding for border security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Montana, distances him from Biden in a political ad, saying, \u201cJon Tester worked with Republicans, fighting to shut down the border \u2026 and he fought to stop President Biden from letting migrants stay in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans have warned about increased terrorist threats due to Biden administration policies, arguing they hope voters will hold their Democratic colleagues responsible in November, The Center Square reported.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also has placed the blame for the border crisis on the president. \u201cPresident Biden inherited the most secure border with the lowest illegal immigration since last century,\u201d he maintains. \u201cWith the stroke of a pen, he proudly ended those secure border policies and opened the border to more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-bidens-immigration-policies-may-fuel-migrant-caravan-crisis-at-southern-border\/\" title=\"Analysis: Biden\u2019s immigration policies may fuel migrant caravan crisis at southern border\">11 million illegal immigrants<\/a> from more than 150 different countries \u2013 including known terrorists, murderers, and rapists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of securing the border, he is also trying to stop Texas from securing it, Abbott says.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden attacks Texas for simply doing what Congress compelled him to do,\u201d he said, referring to ongoing lawsuits with the administration over enforcing existing law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTexas is building a border wall, installing hundreds of miles of razor wire and buoy barriers, and deploying thousands of Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers [to the border].
