Former President Trump on Monday slammed the Senate’s bipartisan border deal, calling the bill unnecessary and only further deteriorating the border.
President Trump has been vigorously pushing for a border deal for days as negotiators on both sides hammer out the final details of the bill. A small number of Republican senators pushed back on Trump’s criticism, saying it was not his place to weigh in on the border deal.
“We don’t need a border bill to stop millions of people pouring into our country, including people from prisons and psychiatric hospitals around the world. “It’s an invasion like no other. It’s not sustainable, it’s not affordable, and it’s only going to get worse under crooked Joe Biden,” Trump wrote. About the true society.
He also suggested that Democrats are using the border agreement as a way to hold Republicans responsible for the border crisis.
“We have the safest and most secure border in American history,” Trump continued. “We didn’t need a ‘bill’!” They are using this horrible Senate bill as a way to shift the burden of the border disaster onto the shoulders of Republicans. Democrats broke the border, so they should fix it. We don’t need laws, they already exist!!!”
President Trump told supporters at a rally over the weekend that he didn’t care if Republicans blamed him if the bipartisan border deal failed. Earlier in the day, he denounced the border deal as a “disaster yet to come” in a series of Truth social posts.
Some Republican senators, including Sen. Thom Tillis (RN.C), said it would be “immoral” for Republicans to break the deal to support the former president. He has criticized President Trump’s comments regarding the agreement. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) said Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” that President Trump has no influence on border negotiations.
