Former President Donald Trump slams the Senate’s “border security” bill as a total disaster, calling anyone who would vote for it a fool or a Radical Left Democrat. In classic Trump fashion, he took to Truth Social to rant about the bill, criticizing its provisions and calling it a “Death Wish” for the Republican Party.
According to the former President, the legislation not only absolves the Democrats of their disastrous immigration policies, but also places the blame squarely on the shoulders of Republicans. He emphasized that the bill is a huge gift to the Democrats and urged members not to be “stupid” by supporting it. Trump made it clear that the border and immigration issues should be addressed separately without being tied to foreign aid.

On the other side, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Senate Republicans to back the bill’s passage. He criticized President Biden’s approach to border security, highlighting the chaos caused by the Administration’s policies and their impact on national security. McConnell emphasized the need to hold the President accountable for the mess at the border, stressing that it’s time for him to clean up his act.
In McConnell’s view, the security and humanitarian consequences of the border crisis have reached every state, testing America’s sovereignty and credibility. He thanked Senator Lankford for his efforts in addressing the crisis and stressed the need for immediate action to restore order and security at the southern border.
Overall, the debate over the “border security” bill has intensified, with Trump and McConnell standing on opposing sides of the issue. Trump’s vocal opposition and McConnell’s call for action have set the stage for a heated battle in the Senate. It’s clear that the bill has become a lightning rod for partisan conflict, with both sides digging in their heels as the political drama unfolds.
