After Millions Of Illegal Crossings, Senate Republicans Finally Discover America Has A Border Crisis

[Federalist] It only took millions of illegal immigrants violating American sovereignty during Joe Biden’s presidency, but Senate Republicans are finally concerned about the ongoing invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border — or are they?

In recent weeks, Senate GOPers have been unusually vocal about the unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, a crisis created by Biden administration policies that’s wreaking havoc on communities across the country. On Wednesday, for instance, Senate Republicans blocked a $110.5 billion foreign-aid package proposed by Biden that sought to give tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, arguing that the measure must include "strict new changes related to asylum" and other border policies before it receives GOP support.

The bill also would have earmarked funds for Israel and "other global hot spots."

"As we’ve said for weeks, legislation that doesn’t include policy changes to secure our borders will not pass the Senate," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a major proponent of shipping U.S. aid to Ukraine, said.

But Republicans’ push for increased U.S. border security isn’t as heroic as they’re making it out to be. McConnell and Co. aren’t saying they’ll no longer advance more aid to Ukraine altogether. They’re just stating they won’t consider doing so unless funding for U.S. border security comes with it.

In other words, the Republican message to Democrats is: "Give us enough border funding to placate our base, and we’ll keep helping you bankroll Ukraine’s forever war."

#1 "After Millions Of Illegal Crossings, Senate Republicans Finally Discover America Has A Border Crisis"

They WOKE-UP and remembered that 2024 was just around the corner and citizens are the ones actually voting and businesses only donate.

Of course, Biden could Amnesty all the ILLEGALS and given them citizenship and the right to vote for Christmas.

Then the estimated 8 million 18+ y/o new voters might help the LSD's in 2024.

#2 Can do amnesty but can't give citizenship without throwing out the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship. All it takes then is a few state to similarly declare that the compact in thus rendered null and void due to such and act.

Of course if any Trunk ever got to the position again, they could grant amnesty to all living Americans for the 'crime' of slavery that ended over 150 years ago. Race hustlers hit hardest.

#4 ...no that's a Constitutional amendment, Senators are banned from the presidency, vice-presidency, or chain of succession. Make a choice. The Senate as the original convention and the base Constitution was to represent the states (not major urban areas). The House was to represent the people. Look carefully at the ratification. It required the states to ratify not the people.
