GOP killing border bill again (the one they helped craft) - SteveG - 05-22-2024
Republicans continue to sabotage their own border deal in a cynical move of grim partisanship.

Senate Republicans are vowing to block a bipartisan border security deal from moving forward on the floor, three months after Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) hailed it as a “huge success,” reflecting the rising partisan tensions of an election year.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) plans to hold a vote to advance it Thursday, but no Republican senator has yet said they will vote for it, even though it was endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

McConnell told President Biden in a phone call Monday that Republicans will not vote for the border security deal they hashed out with Democrats earlier this year.
